Well, after a great summer time with some cruize and partys,
we´re back for customize..
This
summer gave some answer on the build up,
good
and bad!
Overall, peoples
reactions at meetings and at the streets,
give
me the "thumbs up" for the car..
When
people stops and take movie when passing,
and
tourists nearly chrashes to get a picture, the point
is
taken for keeping up.
1. A
badly worn kingpin ruined some of
the driving, and one of my fronttyre on the short use.
After check the type of bushing at
spindels, and their easyness to be worn down, this was yet decided to
be reworked for needle-bearings.
2. Interior swap is started to Volvo 740 leather seats, and
doorsides incorporated to the backseat.
3. Measurment, checked for dick brake swap in front.
With use of the orginal hubs, BMW parts should be an easy conversation,
or ?
4. Rear light in the conniekit wasnt liked by police and
removed/ reworked to function with red color as extra brakelight.
|
5.
The turn signals shutted down because
circuit damage in Van steeringcolumn, reworked to function.
6. Generator super voltage blow fuses, etc.and was changed
to a one wire type.
7. Old stereo with failures get changed to cd/mp3 player
with 4 speakers in sidepanels front and rear.
8.
After used the conniekit
deckextension
as seat, we´d reworked the conniekit holder to
accept movement
to be layd down as table use.
( great on outdoor meetings...)
9. Reworked orginal headlamps to get H4 bulbs, with
bulleted crosses.
10. Changed parklight assembly at grilleends., used old bicyckle lamp
welded into grillbar
11. Driveline
function very well, but mpg. is in the higher state,
carburator swap seems the sulotion.
12. Did find short dropformed chromestrips( mc accessories
) for scoopopenings ,hood & shirts.
13.
Whats yet to be done?
Major exhaust work! Sound is not right! Splitted exhaust is needed
Interior need to be done in similar style/ color.
Exterior chromelists needs manufact.
Of course PAINT! Discs??

Decided to make
new midseat console to fit against
raer seat, and could be used as armrest. With rooms for CD´s and
a small cofee table in front.
|

Sidepanels in interior is mocked up, and the foamcushing layer is
glued. Panels make a lowering line from dash to the rear seat.
The upper parts will be done in roll´s & pleats |

Slippin´&
sliding in the wintertime.....
Spiketyres

handling , also on this conditions.
And to the "fanatics", theese cars was made for use,and the ease
of handling was Chevy´s
main slogan in theese years.....

Shortned front bumper to fit against fenders. Turned
upside down and relocated/ reworked the mounts. Also lowered to suit

Grinded whitewall
