Going to resurrect a Daisy Dukes CJ Jeep!
SO to go at it some more, I took out the CB and got to lookin' and come to find, I'm GLAD I didn't glue the CB to where the instructions showed it to be! Its NOT under the dash on the passenger-side of her Jeep! Its between the seats!
SO looking at the CB, I was like, yeah, thats NOT gonna work to my detailing ways! SO, looking at the area between the seats, How in the hell was I to put this, there? WELL thats easy! The Emergency Brake lever is there, I had to remove it, and file down the "boot" a bit, and add a bit more rear-ward, downward angle to it, which I did, and then re-glued it in place.....
BUT the left the CB, how was I to mount it, and right in front of me was a short section of "H" beam structural stock, I was using it for my "Dream Truck" build parts, and this little section happened to be a left-over that stayed on the bench!
SO I took it and began "fitting".... The CB? I can not stand the look of that mic, as well as the Mic wire they molded into it. SO, I cut the molded on "wire" drilled a hole where its to plug into the CB, and then completely cut the CB Mic OFF the CB where it is/was to hang..... You'll see why, when I get that far!
Heres what it started out as:
Mic cut off holes drilled.
"H" beam mount made (its now a "C" channel mount, and a notch cut into the bottom of it to clear the Emergency Brake Lever. Mic, made from a section/scrap of Styrene block, square rod also laying on the work bench! Hole drilled into it as well. awaiting paint!
Little bit better pic.....
The CB itself, has been painted, and is drying. I have to detail the knobs, and add the little Channel screen to it as well as the Mic wire and boot..... I then got this aside, drying (The Mic, however will be painted once its on its wire to the mic, to have something to hold it with! Its awful small.....
Stay tuned, more to follow! Thanks For looking! Enjoy!
