It has been a few weeks, so I thought it was time for an update.
Yesterday we went to Chicago to pick up the rebuilt hydrovac. We took it to a shop called Rebuilders Enterprises. They did a wonderful job, it looks like new. We have not installed it yet, hopefully soon.
In other work, We are doing more detail blocking and priming getting the body ready for paint. We got the interior ready and I put 3 good coats on the interior. The interior is Ford Lught Grey. We are painting the rest of the accents and the floor/step area as close to the OE color I could find. I found Rust-oleum Deep Slate to be very close match.
I have to mount the visor and get the holes in place , and then I will be very close to putting the color on the roof. Once I also get the slate color on the dash we can reinstall the steering column. We can also start to put the interior parts back in. Very fun part of the project is coming up.
