@Kume Am I heading in the right direction on this? I would take any input (Especially from one who has done it before!)
I missed two pics. #11l shown with a small piece of particle board to hold vertically. It is also almost ready. will have to check for...
I took the camera to the shop this morning and got up to date pics. I believe that this is the fifth time that I have put this part together! I...
Four trunnions are required, two for each yoke. Bolts go in from the front. nrgwizard. Now those are real drawings! It would be great to get the...
May the Force be with you!
Torque washers. So that is what they call those things. I see signs of them on my stuff also. I got a friend out in the shop to make me some crude...
Yes, it would help with a full size old part, especially "B" (#11L). I am doing #11L because it is the only old one, that I have. Hopefully I am...
Next installment on sketches: "A" pillar R (#10R) It took three times to get a good pic. let me know if this is good enough. Having a little...
The 28 distributor still uses the spark advance, (just not as much) so take care of those hollow shafts! You can do whatever you want with...
You got the gas tank too!
Sorry that I have not been making much progress. We have been sort of under the weather for the last week and didn't want to get too far from the...
Tom on the pattern sills I did use the adjustable angle boards. If I remember right, it was very hard to clamp where the saw didn't want to cut...
?? at work?? Show how I mounted pieces on them? Tomorow I will see if I can get some pics. of the jig. (Mainly used to stand boards on end to cut...
Oh No!
Tom, your 21 3/8 from front bolt to second bolt is what I got also.? The extra length in the sill should not hurt because that end is somewhat...
I took a few pics. [ATTACH] This is the right side "A" pillar (#10R) It shows how much had to be cut off the front side. It needs to be tipped...
Right now, I am still fitting, but they will go in either way. There will be a shoulder on them where they contact the top of the sill. These...
Nice three springer! Any more pics.?
The 25 and 26 may be different, but on yours I am thinking that those short cut outs were not factory. Is your sill full width at that point? On...
Dam Hit the wrong key! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I got my permeant sills made and on the frame. Added #2, #3 and #4. Now the side that was not...
Sixball Here I what I took my patterns off of. This the 25 sill. The lead in and lead out were so long, I just adda little more straight rabbit....
I didn't mean to throw cold water on your plans, it's just the (2 weeks-month to be done with wood) just hit me! We'll get it done as best as we...
o_O:D What Sixball said! Tom if you are going to get it done that fast, you will probably have to prioritize which parts that you need me to...
Dan only the latest 26's had outside door handles. I would say at least 3/4 of the 26's were identical door to 25's.
Yes, the dotted line is the bottom, but it is just approximate. The angle is what should be used. once the top outline is finished it is really...
Sounds like You had a very good trip! The bevels on the side of the #1s could be done on the disc sander like I am doing. The long scarf at the...
The tracings for #1 and #2 are on their way. I tried to take pics. of them too, but need to hold camera better. I'll add one to show if it is...
Tom, Thank you for the comment! I went back and corrected words but adding callouts to the pics. is a lot harder. Got one done. I need to think...
Tom the groove in 18 is for the trunk hinge. The dim's that you got me were great! After comparing my patterns, I knew there was something else...
I checked the fit for the passenger side quarter panel, looked real good. Front lip even went into the grove at #11 and the sill. [ATTACH] The...
