Haven’t posted in awhile, with spring here had to get the yard work in order to keep the wife happy along with many other distractions. We went to Portland for the annual PIR and Expo swap meet last month and was able get some key items that were needed for the build. Both rear fenders, period correct tail lights and a few odds and ends.
I did get the doors mounted and not 100% happy with it after cleaning everything up, replacing everything that was worn out installing the latches the doors close solid and lock so it will be good for now. I’m installing all new weatherstripping and waiting on a few more parts to get the doors completed.
I was able to get the column mocked in and had to trim up the exhaust heat shield and use a 3/4” double D universal to get the correct clearance for the steering. Plan to get that mounted up solid tomorrow now that the paint is cured.
I also ordered some Dakota Digital gauges and the correct radiator which should show up next week. I finished up by clearing up the factory harness so I can go through it and remove what’s not needed and get it ready to install. The progress has been slow but really want to get this thing in the road soon.
