Builds 76 Project Silver Back

[SMG]

Used a piece of exhaust pipe for the straight section.

Used silicone bronze to weld it back together.

And of course, black Imron paint.

Installed this Professional Products fuel pump an all new Aeroquip PFT Stainless steel fuels lines.

I kinda wish I would have purchased a in-tank fuel pump, but I had already ordered this one before I started to second guess myself.

Either way I was happy to give Professional Products my business as they offer veterans a pretty good discount plus free shipping. They also sell other items besides fuel pumps.
All in all a great company to do business with.

Fuel pump was mounted inside the frame rail with a rubber isolator pad.

Pretty stoked, just test fit my new OEM front passenger fender.

Worked on my bib replacing the bad areas.

Scribed the area that needed to be cut out.

Welded in new piece

Nice work. A bit of grinding, sanding, tapping with a hammer and she'll be perfect!

Cleaned up the welds.

Removed my Conferr Tank for the third time. Decided to install Downey's intank fuel pump kit. Went ahead and sealed the inside of the tank with KBS's fuel tank sealer.

I now have the option to run either intank or external fuel pumps depending on which one works the best.

Fabbed up a new shifter plate/boots out of 16 gauge Stainless.

The Transmission boot came out of a GEO Tracker.

 

[Tokamak]

Mighty fine work there!

 

[SMG]

Test fit my Digital Dakota Dash.
Can't wait to power it up!

 

[SMG]

Fabbed up my custom seat mount for my Procar seats. Also made a bracket to hang my ARB Compressor.

Crappy pic, Here is a bracket to hold my Dakota Digital speedo Transducer.

No more cable!

 

[SMG]

Installed some back up Oil Pressure and water Temp gauges along with, wiring my ARB switches.

 

[SMG]

It's not much, but I painted my glove box door and installed a new shift plate.

 

[Tokamak]

It's all progress, no matter how small. Keep up the good work.
Wish my transmission hump looked as good.

Oh geez,

I'm no professional, nor welder so I'm sure it took me a lot longer than most.

After the door was blasted and my game plan was all thought out. I would have to say somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 hours.

That's just a ruff estimate,

Most of the time was getting the pieces to fit with hardly no gap.

You obviously have welding skills. All 4 doors on mine need work. I want to but then I'm afraid I'll screw them up

Finished up my Painless wiring install over the weekend. Pretty stoked that everything works.

My obsessiveness cause me to solder and heatshrink every terminal/plug, which has caused it to take twice as long.

I've installed three of the EZ wiring kits on various Hotrods, pretty straight forward.
The steering box was nicely done..great metal fab work!
You've got skills.
One thing about a build such as yours, you end up knowing every inch of it, and that's a good thing.
