Day 143

I mounted up the water tank that I got from SOR, a heater valve form toyota and installed a Lokar E-brake cable. Man, these finishing touches add up and never seem to end!

 

[thecrazygreek]

Tell me more about the ebrake cable. Will it work with an OEM setup? I like the way it mounts, nice and clean.

x2, Looks great. I'd like to know more about it.

This is incredible!, Great work.....Honestly you are really starting to piss me off! Just wish mine looked like that.... Again, great job, can't wait to see more.

@ thecrazygreek and miker, the cable is from Lokar and is P/N EC-80FU. This cable set up is for an aftermarket rear brake but you most likely would be able to adapt it an OEM setup. I think I ordered the wrong setup because it P/N EC-80FU came with two cables, and I think it was designed for a dual mechanical drum setup. Anyhow, now I have a spare cable. I believe they have additional P/Ns that are cheaper and come with a signal cable. In addition I had to order some additional hardware to properly secure the cut end. I will have additional pictures and information once it has been completely installed. Pease stay tuned in, thanks for the support.

@ gcrump01, thank you for the kind words.

Day 144a

I finally assembled on the cooling tower, air intake, battery tray, steering column, shifter linkage (hi / low and 2 and 4) and head light housing. It came out better than I anticipated!

Day 145

Thanks guys for all the support!
I wasn’t happy with the stock wiring setup on the semi-truck style turn signals. So I disassembled them and rewired them to my liking. Now the fronts and sides only blink as turn signals (amber) and the rears are now running lights and blinkers (red). Then I put everything back together and glued them to the modified factory spacers using some JB weld.

Day 146

Next I installed the column shift transmission linkage and mounted the transmission cover. Then bolted up those semi-truck lights, not bad and they match the rears.

Day 147

Bought some glass head lights and applied blue tint Xpel protection too them. Mounted them in their sockets, now the fog lights match the head light.

 

[ElHefe]

Very nice! What brand/model number of headlights?

 

[Mcgyver24]

@ ElHefe, I bought them off Ebay. They were less than $30 for the pair shipped (Brand is Options, P/N 49947).

 

[bobs74fj40]

seriously a awesome build. all the work put in is impressive.

 

[merbesfield]

Where did you get the radiator protector screen? I like it.

 

[merbesfield]

I installed the fenders, aprons and bib using some fender welting rubber. I’m surprised it didn’t come like this way from the factory! The hood went on next.

Where did you buy the fender welting rubber? Looks great.

 

[Mcgyver24]

Thanks for all the support guys!

@merbestfield, I got wire mesh material from McMaster Carr. They have a huge selection to choose from. I created a wire boarder from some 3/8” solid stock and welded it up.

@merbestfield, I got the fender welting from summit racing. Just do a search for “fender welting”.

Day 148a

I reinstalled the bib, installed some air horns and remounted the seat rack. Next, I put some finishing touched on the flip / license plate assembly (added some LED light bolts). Then I installed some new seat covers for the rear. I also started on the fronts and added some seat wormers to the front seats.
