I have had those type of days pro70, I would like to say I haven't but I would be lying. At least it was a pretty quick fix, could have been worse.
I have the car full of water and everything is working well, new fan is functioning perfectly, It was leaking around the radiator cap so a new cap is in order. I put the dash in primered today so I can install and hook up the gauges. Everything fit well in to the dash even though I noticed that one of the holes was crooked, can you tell which one? So tomorrow there will be some grinding going on to fix that gauge.

I 'd say the one on the far left. Do I get a prize or just honorable mention??

I'll probly' pay for it tomorrow but I played hooky this weekend and worked on the floor bracing. Everything is tacked in now except the trans. cross member and a few gussets.

now you know. you must have been using a level and sitting in the drivers seat, making the car lean left when you marked the holes . you need to heat the springs on the lift side, that will drop it down.


just joking brickman, looks like i might of did that.

need to drive the car, bigger tires on the right side, or jack bolts. then you can adj. it

brickman. i fell bad about talking about you dash like that so i went ahead and put the gauges in for you. hope you like the radio.


i tried to get pro 70 to help????

Kewl. Now the dash is virtually done.

i forgot the most important thing.

HAHAHAHAHA!! Very good work Guys!! I like the gauges looking Kewl!!!
Of Course the Fuzzy dice make it work!
I was personaly thinking of just putting a riser under one side of the drivers seat! It sure looks different than it did when I first brought her home a year and a half ago.

Nice work on the floor Pro70, how much more of that tubing goes in there anyway?
