btw as far as gettin rid of the fusible links, just go to autozone and get some big fuses. they are two blue ones and a pink one in the middle (cant remember the amp but the pink is higher amperage) they will plug right into where the fusible links go. ill find a link to them

Holy crap!!! I put the engine in this car lol, the guy you bought it from got it with a locked up engine. Glad to see its having some TLC put in it!!!!

um, no real info, I pulled it out of my SA when i got it, i just knew it ran lol. I rebuilt the carb on it and its got new plugs. I see you replaced the water pump, i cleaned up and painted one off of the motor i pulled out of the car since it wasnt locked up. the guy didnt wanna spend much money on it so i couldnt make it completely right.

i really like it. where can you order those wooden shift knobs?
|
in my opinion you ruined those rims!..... these are the rims i re-finished for my D.D. and they were in very bad shape before.

i'll take that as a compliment lmao

big red box!

Your wheels look great. My other wheels were in worse shape with heavy piting. i was not sure about their abilty to polish up. I thought about it and the did not think the poilished look would match my car. If my car was another color like red then i might have tried to polish them and if it didn't clean up i would have done sokmething else. but the almond /cream color does not go well with polished wheels.

It's definitely better than sloppy black paint. |
Cool looking project, good luck with it! I agree with the radio stuff, I am having the same thoughts. I want something that matches the color of the gauges, is more silver-ish or brushed aluminum looking, and doesn't bug the piss outta me when I see it is too modern for the FB. I will also be running new wire to at least 4 new speakers in the stock locations and possibly 2 subs with a 1200W amp I got laying around :biggrin:

I picked up some new wheels for a good deal. I am thinking bronze. They need alot of work.

The Rear bins were rusting so we took them out and painted them.
http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/a...-53-24_243.jpg We have been working on the fd a lot so that is why i have not had a chance to work on the fb. http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/a...-43-43_109.jpg |
Found the cause of my intake leak. No idea how it happened. Luckily I had a spare intake manifold.

Put the fender flares on. Still have to cut the fenders . They turned out really good thanks to my wife helping me line them up.

Prepared the wheels for PAINT. I am thinking black on the inside and bronze on the rim.

Putting on the fender flares. http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/a...0602121444.jpg http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/a...0602121443.jpg http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/a...0602121205.jpg Changing the water pump. i didn't know there was a big difference in the oem pump and a non oem. The oem is the new one. http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/a...-34-34_500.jpg Removing the side molding. That was pain. http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/a...1-34-09_29.jpg This is when i first got it. http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/a..._1_-135x76.jpg And this is now. http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/a...0602121536.jpg |
what are you doing to make sure the screw holes for the fender flairs don't rust? what flairs are you using? trust me your WAYYYYYYYY better off polishing the lip on those rims and ONLY painting the centers
