Not much going on this weekend. I spent yesterday with the scouts at a climbing camp out. Today, I started working on two tailgate brackets where the chains mount to. Not too shabby. Made from angle iron.

I keep forgetting to update this. Been busy that last month with work and visiting relatives all over Texas during the holidays. I did manage to get some stuff done.
Monstalined the interior. Tons of work, but this stuff looks to be pretty tough.

Man, for being busy with the relatives, you sure got a lot of good stuff done. Nothing like working in the shop!
Good Job!

I'm still working on finishing up the fuel lines and the dizzy. The dizzy I bought off of the MUD classifieds has a leaky vacuum advance diaphragm and the backup dizzy I had is from a 62. So, I'm on the hunt for another one.

Thanks Ron! Yeah, any chance I can get I'm in the shop. I'm really trying to get this done because I have a full plate this year with a house remodel, family trip to celebrate our 20th anniversary, and I'm going to start an MBA program next Fall. Running out of time!!!

Here's a tech related question. My seats came all in pieces and I think I have most of the hardware to put them back together, but I'm confused as to what goes in the gap in the space where the upper and lower parts pivot. Spacer of some sort? There's about a 1/4" gap there.

Also, these hog ring pliers made things easy. A couple of Youtube how-to's helped, too.

Nice work! Couple questions: Did you spray or brush on the Monstaliner? Which LED headlights did you end up using? They sure are spendy critters!! And last question, what did you use for the tranny hump gasket??
Cheers!

The Monstaliner was rolled and is a ton of work compared to spraying Raptor Liner.
The LED lights were $77 shipped off of eBay. They are Trucklite clones, but seem well made.

For the tranny hump, I just used some thick truck camper shell weather stripping from AutoZone. I cut it to fit and it had an adhesive back.

Thanks very much for the info. I am in somewhat similar state with my resto...just primed the inside of the tub with epoxy, once it is good and cured, next step is a liner...Monsta may be the direction I go, it looks really nice!

What makes the application of Monsterliner a ton of work? Not being sarcastic as I have a gallon and plan to apply in the next couple months once the tub is painted.
