Caps are less the mooneyes ,Im still fing with one cap.Having paint issues,Im hoping tomorrow over many hours invested in dust caps Its insane ,I also have half of the rear hose bracket mocked up...Ill get pics by next week,Im jammed up again working this weekend,So Im pushed back again................
I like the wheels' finish. Is that Eastwood's alumiblast or did you get it somewhere else??? Thanks, Gary
I think its from seymour paints,I bought the cans off of egay ,,,What was great different cans .different buying times all matched ,,,Its a flat silver without metallic ,Im on to trans and motor this weekend,Probably only getting the trans done
I'm guessing you've got some buttons with tapered holes that will mount inside those radius rod brackets for the tie rod ends to mount solidly, OR?
I just used true 3.eights plated welded to body of frame and used heimans ,There painted black with the frame so they go away/And I bouht speedway bungs and welded them inside radius rods

Final prime blocking this week .Heres a pic.Im just thinking about where to put alot of stuff in the garage,My sheds are full.....Because of dust
Say John, If your schedule permits...give your self a couple of days to chase the little details prior to color coating. That way all the little gremlins can be ID-ed. She's coming along great.
Thanks and thats what Im doing,Its sunday ,Its sanded with 400 ,Have to spot prime and fix one spot on the body,Should be done monday.Then Ill be ready for paint after garage clean out again..........The funniest thing is,When I started this build It was gonna be a fast build ,Just slapit together,5 years later
