"laid" some glass (new windshield) actually took less than 10 minutes to lay the bead of butyl, then seconds to drop it into place. I'll have thread later on the engineering controls I did to install it singlehandedly.

Beautiful! You're gonna love it....I put one on mine last week, along with one of their custom
shift rods. I just went for the stock single outlet but I like that setup as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

It was such a nice hot day today, I emptied my outdoor work bench, cleaned it and brushed on a thick coat of sealer ...

... then a few hours later, brushed on a top coat.

Also installed a 16 receptacle electrical box that one of my neighbors gave me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)


I might throw a second coat on the bench tomorrow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)


Then I'll tear a greasy motor apart on the fresh clean surface (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Took two steps backward tonight... The car has now become self-mutilating...

Headlight pivot broke and the headlight cocked to the side and took paint off the front trunk lid.. Fuch..

Then you plugged in a multiple outlet adapter for good measure... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Yeah ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

The big box replaced the 3-outlet adapter. I didn't have anywhere else to put it , so ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Actually, I'm already thinking about moving the big box up above the back rest on the bench (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Learned a lot more about wheel backspace than I thought I would need to know. My current wheels are apparently VW backspace at 4 inches. With stock tires the rears rubbed the fender when cornering hard or on large bumps. Had a set of Pedrinis that I cleaned and painted.

Attached Image

Then noted they were for early models and mine is a 75. Grabbed a set of steel wheels as a temp measure. Cleaned them up and noted they were pretty trashed. Next!

Borrowed a set of aluminum wheels from a buddy. Stripped, polished, and clear coated them.

Attached Image

They were hub centric (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) but I measured the backspace and guess what? They were 4 inch backspace. The same as my current ones! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Ok so off to the machine shop with the Pedrinis to have the cut to fit the late model hubs. But at least I will have a decent looking set of wheels that don't rub even when I go to a bigger tire. Nothing like doing it the hard way!

Installed a set of Wilwood calipers on the front to add lightness and get a bit better brake pedal travel vs. the "A" calipers. Hard to believe the weight of the old "A" calipers....really a boat anchor class item. Also, check out the meat in the pads on the Wilwoods vs. a new pad for the "A's".......

Finally finished the cowling for the new and incorrectly sized radiator from Renegade (wasn't an exact replacement for the old one that sprung a leak), thus finalizing the winters work (Dr. Evil sorted 901, new 7 qt oil pan, complete shifter bush rebuild, CV rebuild, Carb rebuild) just to discover on the first test drive the rear main on the SB is leaking like a sieve.
