Charlie69 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Food for thought! I found it easier to set the cab on over the engine and trans in the chassis than it was to put the engine and trans in a freshly painted engine compartment. 1 Quote Link to comment

I agree , but there is no way I'm going to wait until 2 weeks before canby before mounting the body . We will just have to do it with the body on . not to mention putting on the exhaust, fuel lines and wiring all that stuff got painted yesterday and will be installed this week . 3 Quote Link to comment
HOGIE Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 ...and another note?? What to do with the valve cover?? Paint...polish...powder coat?? .................I can paint it...........but someone else would have to powder coat it or polish it..... .....or if someone has one like this one that's already cleaned up and would like to donate it......I'll give you this one at Canby.... I have this one. Metalic grey paint looks okay. I might have another one that is has the '1600' on it 1 Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 i think the 510 keeper has a polished valve cover i could ask him to donate it ? 2 Quote Link to comment
Busta Nut Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Preferably a 1600 one.....otherwise I could just paint it.... 1 Quote Link to comment

Jester Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I have a "1600" cover I was going to donate, but, someone used an AN fitting for the PCV fitting. Threads are now to big for factory fitting. :devil: 1 Quote Link to comment

denmarkboy Posted April 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Here is an update on the schedule ; This weekend we are going to do what we can to the body . i am taking a couple of the harder pieces to Tim so he can work some magic on them . On Saturday 18th The truck is going to paint so we could use some muscle that day to move things around and hauling pieces to paint . On Saturday 25th Dan is coming down and installing the wiring and we will be installing the dash and fitting glass. Sorry I had to edit , I was clearly not awake / paying attention . 5 Quote Link to comment
