i got the w/s frame all fit and on it today, damn its hot, supose to be 100 here, its gonna be a sweaty day!! well anyways, i picked out a central point where the w/s post met the cowl posts then cut them both there, then i made a ledge for it to set on like the stock ones do, then i made a tab that sticks up that the posts bolt to, then i had to chop the w/s posts to fit the frame, it was a 30/31 w/s frame and the width was perfect. i still have to make it look good where the w/s frame meets the top of the cowl, its hard to see it in the pics but it just isnt right. im not sure whats on the agenda next, i think hanging pedals and the dual chev truck master cylinder and hydrolic clutch slave. jeff
got some more done, a buddy had a 3 speed trans that had the shifter all set up and working, and it was cheap, i traded 2 94 carbs for it, so i figured out with the 4 speed and in with the 3 speed, well i got that stuck in place and then was playing around with the subrails around the trans, then i figured id do up some of the floor pans and modify the shifter with an old shifter stick i had laying around. also got the chev truck master in the right area i want it. now ill have to finish the floor around that and then get the pedals hung, i have an old hurst or what ever brand pedals they are laying around. jeff
nope, no reason, just having fun, im not even working on it every night, probably 2 nights a week for about 4 hours and then a few hours on the weekend. jeff
