Not much of an update. Worked on getting the fender and plastics all setup perfectly. With 32 yr old plastic that has been warped over time, it wasn't fun. Having new clips in all the proper places made it difficult to line everything up the...
Continuing on...Replaced the fender sealant. Both sides.Before I got the sideskirt back on I wanted to make sure the inside was protected so it doesn't rust out again. someone had mentioned Eastwood's internal frame coating before so I...
Finished up the patch and lower door sill area this weekend. While I was prepping the new patch panel for paint. I noticed a bubbling of some rust on the door sill. I sanded and smoothed it to also prepare for paint.I did a lot of sanding...
Finally got the new patch panel all situated but had a bit of a detour while I was doing it.
I got the new patch all welded in. Had to stitch weld it since the metal is so thin here (about 18 gauge). I'm no welder, but I got it done and it's...
Be careful with those wago type connectors. I had my aem gauges wired up in a similar fashion with those type of connectors and kept popping fuses. I couldn’t figure out for the life of me what was going on. Even went as far to rewire the entire...
i use fluid film on my battery terminals, all along the wheel well arches, etc. with water splashing on it all winter i had to reapply it once? fluid film is great i use it on all the joints throttle body springs, driver seat bolts etc in the...
Yes, FF you have to reapply as it will just wear away eventually. Using inside the tunnel in this case I think it'll last pretty close to forever. I'm going to get the Eastwood stuff and use it inside the frame though and see how it holds up.
Interesting. I'll check it out. I used FF because I've been using it on the bottom of my pickup for the last two years or so and it still looks flawless and I'm in the rust belt. I like Eastwood stuff so I'll check it out, thanks!
This week I needed to tackle the huge rust hole underneath the driver's side fender. You remember this hole?I cut the new piece out of the donor part I was sent awhile back.Lots of trimming and hammering and I got it damn close.Before I...
I wanted to get the gauges all done this weekend, BUT I basically re-did everything I did last week too. I just wasn't a fan of the bullet connectors and how they looked...it was quite a mess under there, so I found some wire connectors...
Still wiring up everything this week. Kinda boring but has to be done. Worked on getting the gauges and the control harness for the LC-2 all setup. I wanted to de-pin, pin #4 on the ECU harness so I could make a pigtail to hookup the...
I get everything on Amazon. Just search for "automotive wire" and pick your gauge. I bought a pack of six, 100ft rolls in a few gauges. The solder sticks are easy enough to find and the for the screws just search "plastic screw cover" and...
Continued with the oil pressure gauge this weekend as well as getting the gauge pillar installed. First thing I needed to do was lengthen the oil pressure sender wiring so I could route it in a way not to get caught up in the belts. I routed...
Weird, I thought I had updated this awhile back...anyway, here we go.My door handle was squeaking, and while I had the door panel off I noticed the moisture barrier was not sticking very well, so I added more caulking to get it to stick better...
