stay the hell away from mine when it's done....good lord! chrome booster? really? %)

Randy, I just won a million dollars! I figured once you saw the blingy booster pic you'd be a rebel rouser,,,,,

 

[Miker]

Looks great Mike! I would love to see it in person so my offer still stands..... On your way back from Florida stop by for dinner. I'm literally 3-4 minutes off 95.

Might be a while Allen, but, bank on it!

WH Transfer cover plate

Got the WH transfer cover plate installed, I like the look and I think the bolts used look pretty skippy as well.

dave, find an ebrake pad on your bench after we left?

You know, funny you mention. I saw it there while you guys were there and it threw me off abit. I have a new pad i bought for the Fairlane and thought it was that but didn't ever remember having it out. Then i thought someone may have brought it for someone else. Forgot about it since. Haven't even gone out to clean up really. Was planning on today.

So were you the bearer?

Ohh and forgot to give you that ash tray. Don't know if you still need it.

Had to go with two holes up top to help secure the pedal assembly. Good news is that Ryan said the maker of this tub laid a 1/8th sheet of steel in the glass and that should also help provide some strength.

Bummer, but I bet if you paint them out body color they will all but disappear.

Ryan found a piece of aluminum that was laying around that was a perfect width for the brake bracket.

 

[Miker]

Ok, some progress to report to you all. MSD box mounted, shocks I had laying around installed, WH billet brake and gas pedals installed,drop bar bracket welded on,

 

[Miker]

A little more progress. welded nuts to the windshield frame then ran bolts through the tub to secure the windshield. Button head stainless bolts for the brake assembly, doesn't look bad I think.

miker, the tab on the fender in front will need to be bend it up 90* so your outer fender will bolt on.
nice build.

Some updates, fabbed up a bracket that has an angle to it for the throttle cable to work and clear properly, found a thick grommet to be able to run wires through the firewall, installed the throttle cable and cut the MSD wires to size and soldered for box to dizzy.

 

[Miker]

both Lokar throttle and kickdown cables installed.

Got the radiator intalled. It is tight, but with the serp setup it will be okay. Also got the battery installed.
