Grand total....$24.00, giving it to me for shipping!! He got it off a 86 CUCV.

update on the drivelines....

The box weighed 36.5 Lbs, that is with most of the tube cut off and gone, they will be heavy when they come back!!

 

[warwgn]

Got another coat if glass, maybe the last one I hope.

Ok so you know how there is always a bolt that just kicks your ***, well mine was a T50 torx bolt for the middle row seat belt. I tried to get this out well over a year ago and my tools broke and I got frustrated and quit, but vowed revenge! Well tonight I got my payback, stupid bolt all I needed was to buy a house set up my garage and buy a welder and wire it in.

Sweet revenge!!!

About time, this is the final sand and prime, I am done with prep!

Now let the paint job begin, I have no idea how this is gonna turn out, but step one is done. Gonna let it dry good so I can tape it off and go to step two.

Close up to see the metalic

got a call from the Driveline Inc, both shafts with new tube, new joints, and balanced and shippd back...only $565. Hell of a price for two new drive shafts!!



Should have them by the end of next week. Better get busy on the gage cluster and exhaust!!

Good job showing that bolt who's boss. Thanks for sharing your progress - I'm stealing lots of ideas from you.

 

[warwgn]

So trying to get the wife involved in building the truck. It is working so far, getting her to sand it and now waiting on glazing putty to dry so she can finish sand.

I am working on wiring then might cut the exhaust out and ....... Nah better wait on the exhaust until I make the cross member.

 

[warwgn]

She did good, kept busy the whole time.

All the sending units are wired up now, pulled the speedo cable out and put in the electric sender amd wired it up. Hell I even got the brake controler wired in, no plug in the back for now but the controler is ready. Still need to weld in the bung for the o2 sensor but will do that when I fix up the exhaust. Tomlrrow will start the prime and paint again, got a new plan, will spray black first then the charcoal.

 

[warwgn]

Tonights quick update, did it myself she did not want to stay up late since we get up at 3AM for work.......

Women, what ya gonna do???

Anyway here it is all 400 grit sanded amd re primed, gona hit it with 600 tomorrow after it dries good them just go from there.
