Got the front bumper from Chrome Shop.
They are re-doing the rear right now.
Putting the dash together on the bench.
Polished all the sill plates.
Detailing the spare well.
As soon as I get a couple more red parts back I will start putting
the interior back in.
Here is the heater delete plate from the coater.
Looking for rubber trim parts right now for T-Gate.
i think it's high time this thread had a rating.....i've voted, what do you guy's think?
Got some more interior done yesterday. I have to put some exterior trim on to finish reinstalling the side panels and working headliner edges back in.
It's a 62 that I am changing most of the exterior to 61. Grill, tail lights, door handles. But it will have the 62 Script on the doors and those funky louvers on the quarters. Until I bought a 61 Wagon and put them side by side, I would have told you they were the same under the skin. WRONG! I wanted to change the dash, but I chickened out and am keeping the 62 as the path of least resistance.
Are you taking about that upper glass rubber part I got from Dawsons? If so, I asked him if he had another, as the one he shipped was far from perfect, but he never responded. I kept my old one if you want it, I was going to ship it Joe Schusy to see if he would consider reproducing them. He was in Mopar Collectors Guide a couple of months ago with some B Wagon Tail Gate Rubbers.
I decided to bore the 170. The block is just too loose so I am going 20 over. Here is my honing plate. My friend Bob started this decades ago, did I tell you I was old?, and never got this one finished. So I got the bores cleaned up to 3.55 if I want to go that big. Need to get some grade 8 bolts and hardened washers and then off to the machine shop, Again!
Second picture is my new intake for the Colt. This will be the intake I start with. This will allow me to run a steel flat hood and feed air from the headlight buckets. Going to freshen the 2 I have and am looking for a 3rd 45DCOE 9 to complete the setup.
