Hello all,
Before I start work here, I thought I'd post some pics and questions. I worked a full week....probably 85+ hours and got a long way. By the end of this coming weekend, she MIGHT be drivable, with "just" the roof and rear door to put on . Well, maybe. Powdercoated rims/new tires should be here on Wednesday....seat box Friday.....doors/tops Sunday.....

So, it was a week filled with a lot of work. Started with rhino coating the tub (Herculiner). Came out real nice.....perfect for the dogs :thumb-up: Then painted the engine in-situ as it should last for quite a long time (8K miles on rebuild....with me putting on another 5K miles). Everything was out of the compartment, which made for spraying it using the Detroit Diesel Alpine Green easy. Then reassembly. All new hoses, seals, gaskets, heater core, brake booster, brake/clutch hydraulics, radiator recore, and on and on.......
Well, you can see what I've been up to.
Now for the questions:
-WINGS: I will be bolting the fenders to the wings on the bench...much easier. Can I also bolt the splash panels, steering box guard, etc.. onto the wings on the bench or must this be done on the vehicle?
-I lost the RED round plug hole on the 12V dash socket. Anyone got one I can buy?
-Any tips for installing the vent seals?
-The steering column stabilizing bracket.....any pics of how that is mounted (LHD). Forgot to take a pic....rest of the dash is done save a few wiring issues.
-Anyone have a better wiring diagram than the Haynes manual (72 SIII)? I noticed that the reverse lamp switch near the shift lever had no wires connected to it (or near it).
Cheers,
Julian
