What did you do to your deuce this week?

[monkeyfist]

I have been working on a complete refurbishment!

That has to be the best looking interior I have ever seen! Nice work!

 

[monkeyfist]

Finishing the last of the metalwork tomorrow and getting ready for sandblasting and paint. Gotta get her ready for her buyer by the middle of next month.

New set of mirrors. There was just about nothing left of these thanks to the tight trails. Started with the first couple coats of WD40 on the bolts for the Air-O-Matic install next week.

Interesting windshield contours. Haven't seen those before. Or mebbe it's the angle.

I fixed the flame heater leak on one of the 1970 trucks I had and sold it two days later. A guy from Junction City Kansas now has the nicest driving deuce I ever drove. I think it was the singled out GoodYear 1100 20 G286 tires that made the big difference. Anyway, he got a very nice truck, hardtop, heater, no rust, solid 50 pounds of oil pressure.... I guess I cannot keep them all. Glen

I replaced the turbo pipe that was completely rusted out. While fixing that, I really started thinking about a whistler turbo! Someone talk me out of it!!

Drive one 70 miles with no ear plugs and you will be talked out of it.

I have a spare D turbo on the shelf because I was not able to talk myself out of it. It is still on the shelf with no danger of leaving. Next to a Merlin engine, it is one of my favorite sounds. (earplugs required )

its a one piece windshield with a fiberglass top. its coming off and back to a soft top!

 

[moriboy]

Tonight I will be replacing all of the "soft" hoses that are connected to the turbo/intake. Tomorrow a coolant flush and replacement is on my list.

I now have a working heater! I bought a new motor from Napa, works great and really blows!
