Shane,

What is the gray part behind the wheel in the first picture? some sort of mud flap, or just the Cat heat shield from a strange angle?


Inspection cover for the evap hoses.


I'm a little anal when it comes to assembly. I use Vaseline and nylon washers so no paint issues.

no hate, just no love for those.:D You could recondition some. Not everything is new right?

Really it's a master piece resto! :clap:

Thanks!

I tore a set apart one time and could never get them back together, So I choose these, plus they are new and might never be used.
 
sweet, when you gonna let me drop off those covers and take a closer look?

That looks sweet, no idea how I missed the shop and the truck..

My only advise is flip the steering stabilizer around so it wont collect water in the tube.

will do... thanks for the advise!!
 
I rebuilt the blower motor tonight, it was the piece of the puzzle and harder that I remembered.

Had a powder coated housing that I oiled the felt and polished the inside of the brass bushings. Cleaned the internals with electrical cleaner and installed with new plated top and screws. I have to get some fabric tape tomorrow to complete the OE look.


Got a set of OE hub caps and new BFG's installed.

Installed the Mat corners and jack as well...

Installed all my decals including the WARN and unleaded Fuel only and cant wait for beauty pics tomorrow in the Mountains and the river.....

How do you refinish the rims as well as rear hub ornaments? Great Work!
 
Well I think I am finished...........And burnt out at the same time......
