Hi All,
Well the last couple of weekends I have been busy working on the car, so here is what I have done.
1) I had to make Alum. inner fender covers for the headlights, because they stuck out of the enclosed area they fit in,the pictures explain better than I can, so I welded up some boxes to cover them up.
2) The louvered panels I got with the car were polished (somewhat) stainless steel, but I personally like the brushed stainless look better, so there they are all brushed and ready.
3) I made a stainless steel turn signal arm with my high/low beam headlight button built in the end, should be very convenient to get to, no fumbling around with trying to find a foot switch or a dash mounted switch.
4) And finally after a year of engineering and back and forth with drawings and dimensions, I got my single piece input shaft and new first and second gears for my UN1 box, I can't wait to get it put together , and by the way does anyone see anything different about my 1 piece shaft? Notice that the first gear on the input shaft is NOT a straight cut gear! And they said it couldn't be done, Wrong here it is.
I look forward to any and all feedback.
Thanks,
Bob

Happy Holidays To All,
Well I did get a chance to do a little work on the 40 over the holiday, I put in the fittings for my trans cooler, mounted my louvers and check out the cool LED license plate lights and the interior lights, these things only draw 30 milla-amps each. Well its snowing like crazy here so I have to go plow.
See ya Later,
Bob

This weekend I made a new bulkhead flange for the steering column the old one was a piece of crap, its amazing what you can do with a few pieces of steel and a hammer. next was the sound deadening material I got that all put in and then the door rubber boots you see in the last pic will be mounted this week.
See ya ,

Ha All,
Well I did manage to get in the rubber boots to the doors as you can see by the pics and I also made new door stops, I was not a real fan of the limit strap look as seen on a lot of cars, my father in laws model A ford has those and I think its ugly so I redesigned my own. They seem to work just fine but time will tell ! Well back to work.
See Ya,
Bob
