datzenmike Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 It's the light. Inside is probably florescent the back is daylight through the open door. All color is dependent on the light source. Why is it off the trailer?? Quote Link to comment

You are correct, the door was the only rust and i had it all repaired, my fault on off color. 2 hours ago, thisismatt said: Fender and door are not the same color.

mrbigtanker Posted August 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr This troy Amish header is a bitch to get in. You have to [ull all the steering out to install, never again. And then I fucked up by having the o2 sensor bung in wrong place. Easy fix but shit man. 1 Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted August 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Wow what a fuckin headache that header was, but all fixed now, relocated the Bung hole yes I said it. And got it in Literally. Manifold was just mocked up. Just got some bullshit things to do, like vacuum balance tube for the ITB's, New throttle cable mount, hmmmm and I need to machine the inside of that super whammer jammer thermostat housing as it does not have one. How ever I found a 180 degree Chevy sprint one that will work, just need to machine the inside hole just a little to make flush, and whoa-la its in like Flynn. Not perfect but should scoot a little and man that Kameari chain tensioner will be a ear sore, maybe. Disclaimer that valve cover is just for looks, My old bright red one is going back in just having the powder job re done.Helps hide the ugliness of this wagon.
