I'm Awesome
Took a weeks vacation this week. Working on a bunch of vehicle projects. Getting ready to move my sons 69 barracuda cadaver back to my shop. Its at a buddys place. I bought it dirt cheap as a half stripped parts car a few years ago. I have been collecting up pieces since. Everything was missing from the firewall forward. Well as of yesterday it finally became a roller again. No more cinderblocks under the front framerails. Temp installed K frame, suspension arms, torsion bars, disc brakes, steering column, dash frame, and some misc pieces. Now i can get it on a tow dolley and get it home. Eventually it will all get sandblasted, painted and rebuilt. I got a whole front end kit in boxes in my loft for it.
Anyhoo, i also have been working on some reassembly of these quad lamps. Got the new sealed beams today, and still have to scuff and paint the outside of the headlight retainer frames. Need to go to lowes for some hardware to bolt together the sheetmetal wire retainers i made for the plastic buckets. Everything moving right along very nicely. Lots of little pieces and labor to reassemble all of them compared to the 90 up composite lights. That may be the reason GM switched to the composites. Less parts, cheaper to manufacture. When i get a bit further along i will post more pix
