Last post on this guy for a few days. Taking the Mustard 78 back to @jomelo this weekend and I have to do my day job on the way.

I got some Overland Metric hinge screws and installed some proper mirrors and arms.

This is the tool for the job. It’s a screwdriver for an air hammer.

Problem is if it’s a real tough screw it might shatter the bit. Luckily it only happened once and it broke free first. This was my fix

tried this trick to get the windshield bracket bolt out... ended up breaking off the bolt... need a recommendation on a drill bit that will hold up, or other tricks.

Weld a nut to the broken screw.

I’m not a stereo in a 40 guy at all and I really hate all the options for speakers like the kick panels and boxes in the rear so I had this setup made by my guys at Audio Solutions for the Coolcruisers console

Also the blue interior stuff has been painted

Back from a grand adventure out to New Mexico and Arizona and all the parts are coming in to put this thing back together

Amazing build. I love the attention to detail. Perfect patina rig to boot.

Looking great.

Do you have any pics of how the jack is stored in the under seat toolboxes of earlier 40`s?

If your truck has a tool box under the seat then there is a clip in there for the jack. If it’s missing you will need a clip. It’s pretty obvious

Got the JTO tri-mil header back from PowderKeg today. They have invested in a SeraKote system. 1800* ceramic coating. So awesome to have this available local

Funny. Rory must have used up all his 13mm and grabbed a 15mm for sport

Yeah, should be all 14mm heads, that looks like a 17!! As someone who works on cars all the time, one learns what sizes a lot of things are and puts those in his cart. then you have to go back to the tool box and grab another wrench. Find it on oil drain plugs all the time.

@RocketCityCrzrs aka Rory. It’s a beautiful build. Don’t hold the 17mm against him

I KNEW one of you bastards would say something. That is called a locking water pump, keeps it from getting stolen
