First layer of filler. It's the good fiberglass reinforced type.

Sanded and more primer

Patched the holes in the gas tank cover. Then used some Cruiser Corps spray can to touch up the paint. The match is way better than I expected. Next I gotta paint the wheel openings.

 

[JackA]

Two coats on the rear. Color matches great. Makes my work look bad. It's good enough though. I'll drive it thru some bushes to blend it in later.

One more picture just because........today was pretty toasty. About 105 outside and about 88 in my garage with the swamp cooler going full blast. I think the finish matches the patina of the rest of this pile. Super happy with the color match.

If you have an existing starter, there's no need to count flywheel teeth. 168 starters have offset bolt holes vs 153 starters that have bolt holes parallel to the flywheel surface.

168 or 153 tooth flex plate?

The pic I referenced in my earlier post disappeared.

The starter I have is not working and was bolted in with the wrong bolts and a ton of washers. I will have to give a look to its bolt pattern.

Repainted the kick vent and still amazed at the color match.

Working on changing the windshield hinges. Mine were rusted solid and one actually broke trying to fold down the window. I got some repops from Cool Cruisers. Got those painted along with the wiper cover I fixed a big dent on.

Given all the trouble with windshield hinges, I’m tempted to start soaking mine in oil for the eventually that it’ll need to be folded down to be repaired. I don’t remember having any trouble folding it down the last time I did… but that’s probably 30 years ago now.

Got the rear all torn down. Next some clean up, paint, new bushings, shackles and shocks.

 

[JackA]

Some paint. Once for dust, twice for rust.....lol

Goodies have started to roll in.... with more on the way. I took Friday off to help get this project going. Full steam ahead.
Rear axle clean and painted.

Seems like the lazy phase has ended.

 

[JackA]

Rear mostly back together.

 

[JackA]

Working on the whole windshield situation. The hinges, hold down tabs, and most anything else attached to the frame is getting attention.

 

[JackA]

Windshield area mostly done. Even new oem wipers....lol. Added the hood dodads too.
I did not have the correct latch piece for the rear tire carrier. I cut the passenger side one and flipped the hook. Welded back together and test fit and works.

 

[JackA]

Latch all painted and working.

 

[JackA]

Working on seat mounts today. Using the oem stuff as a foundation and will adapt the Procar 90s to it. Also gonna add 3 point belts to the stock rollbar.

Mock up starts......
