4.5LV build

Headlights, parking lots, running lights, dome light and dash lights are all figured out and wired. Turn signals are all figured out and mocked up.

Only a few more circuits left on the 45. It didn't seem to come with back up lights, heater, hazard lights, radio or much of anything.
 
Shot the interior today. Probably will need another coat. I know I have a couple of runs and I imagine I'll find some light spots when I get some light on it.

Started sorting out the 95 Chrysler power distribution center. I think it will work out well. One thing I really like about it is that all the relays power and grounds are in the relay center. Most of the relays only have a switching input and a switched output that need to be wired.

The pinouts are all typed up on a chart, but I want to confirm them before I post them up. If you searched and came up with this thread PM me and I'll give you what I got.
 
I did look at his posts. It was helpful.

I'm currently sorting through the 1FZ cowl harness.

Hit the rear interior with white yesterday. I'll second coat it today and hit the floor with whatever I decide to do there some time this week. The DP90 flat black sealer looks good and is pretty close to correct. I have plenty to do it in white even though I'm going to cover it up. Or I could bed liner it.

A little touch up, then I can start assembling the interior. If nothing else it will help to get some parts consolidated and out of boxes.

I guess I'm going to have to give up on Metric TLC getting the gray in powdercoat and order up the PPG color posted here on Mud. I need to get stuff going on both trucks.

I vote for bedlining the floor.

I would look at Lizard Skin Products. Sound Control and Ceramic Insulation combination for the inside. Friend of mine shot them and said he was impressed with the stuff. He does a lot of cars so I trust his opinion. He said it has the texture of Schutz or Orange peel undercoating, not too rough. I think I will be using Raptor outside with the LS inside. They are sending me texture samples.

What are the two holes for in the wheel wells?

I don't think the holes in the wheel wells are factory, neither of my '64s have them.

Build is looking great btw :beer:
 
Thanks.

I've been trying to get one of the projects out of the shop and the SWB is way simpler so it's gotten a lot of attention in the last couple of weeks.

I brought the fuel tank in for the LV today so maybe it'll go up in the air and get that installed.

I also found a w/s wiper motor. It was in a box with the w/s wiper motors for the SWB. Dunno why Luke had a motor for an LV, but there it was.
 
Great project...you are doing a really nice job. I am doing damn near the same color scheme on a 65 LV for my dad right now. Please keep posting, I can't wait to read more...plus more pics!
 
Just read the entire thread....beautiful work!

Any updates in August?

Certainly an inspiring build.

I love the classroom shot with the 2 front clips - nicely done :)
