Drove it to my kids dance recital.
Changed from old Sylvania’s to LED’s. The difference is “night and day”
Anyone know whether the rear below the tub heat shield was something that was yellow zinc plated from the factory? I am guessing it was. Any input appreciated
Rear crossbar paint. Slowly sprucing up the frame.
One more....

Which product did you select for the frame paint please? Looking good.

Just took my below the heat shield off and it did not look like it was zinc coated. However. I could be wrong hard to tell after 45 years.

Spent the last 4 days sandblasting the frame to get it ready for it's hot dipped galvanizing bath. Delivering it to the Galvanizing place tomorrow. Once the frame is back then I can paint it and finally start to put things together.
Driver side pro car seat came in, built a bracket for it out of 1/4” flat bar stock. Little welder worked nice for this small job, made the 90 degree step downs, mocked up the seat, little paint and bolted the new seat in. Holds my weight just fine. A little overkill but nice and solid. Was going to recover my old seats but the cost of new seat bottoms and the unavailable top cushions made the procar’s a no brainer. Time to start building the passenger bracket, still have time on my hand as the seat hasn’t shipped yet.
I've been looking and designing things that I want to get done this summer, and one of them is a super low profile, prerunner-ish, roof rack. I already have a bunch of tube on the cruiser, and I want to match the look.
I knocked the CAD out today, and this is what I came up with. Let me know what you think, as I'm always looking for changes to make it look better.

I added some TEQ logos to add some flare and differentiation from other racks.

Really like how it follows the fiberglass top lines, and the low profile.I've been looking and designing things that I want to get done this summer, and one of them is a super low profile, prerunner-ish, roof rack. I already have a bunch of tube on the cruiser, and I want to match the look.

Thanks! It's the look that I was going for.
That color grey looks nice. I was going to get the black Pro Cars because the grey seats on their website pics looked too light. Now after seeing them in your cruiser, I'm thinking grey for mine. Great job!
