Builds My Tucson 40's

The interior of the tub was already coated with something. I used Lizard Skin on the trans cover.

Could you post some pics of the inside cut lines for the liner? I’m about to do mine and I’m not sure if I want to coat the inside upper rails.

Getting a few more items bolted in. Need to pick up some hose and hard line to make the fuel lines and goofy emissions lines.

Alittle bit everyday.......

While trying to install the fuel door, I broke a small bolt off in a really bad spot. Remember to always run a tap thru the threads first. I ended up buying this Harbor Freight special. It's a 90* adapter for a cordless drill. Worked like a charm. Ran a tap thru and installed parts with no issues.

Was it the Phillip heads screws that hold the lock plate/bumper?

 

[JackA]

Test fitting the gas tank cover.

Gas tank is bolted in and started to attach some of the lines. New oem gas cap too.

More lines installed for the fuel and charcoal canister. I also bolted on my matching vintage plate for the front......just cause it was easy and made me smile.......lol

I like the license plate! Was it original to the rig?

Nice Build... Huge respect for the work and effort...

It's not original to this 40, but it is the correct plate for it.

Baby steps. I pulled this brake line out and added another hoop at the bottom to make it fit better (looks weird but fits good). Then bolted it in place with the factory clamps.
Got another bunch of parts getting delivered for this weekend. I hope to get alot of loose ends finished up and start on reupholstering the seats.

I learned you can drill out a locking ignition cylinder to remove it if you don't have the key. Started to add some pieces to the column. Also added the tcase inner boot and the shifter outer boot. The shift cane has been bent from stock and is not playing nice with the new boot.
