Frame Off?

 CT/3795-LO

What did I do? What needed done? Who cares, just fix it!

Frame: 

• Fresh paint after major steam cleaning
• MIG welded: The passenger side rear damper mount, passenger side cross member welds and  anything else that looked suspect...
• Replaced brake hoses, brake light switch. 
• Rebuilt brake master cylinder. Cleaned and re-routed brake line
• Turned rotors, drums, installed new pads and shoes, packed bearings
• Koni shocks cleaned, re-installed
• Upper bushings installed, the rest were replaced by Previous Owner...
• New body to frame mount kit
• Replaced a few suspect grease nipples, including new grease

Driveline:

• Rear main cap seal
• Sump seal
• Oil  pump strainer
• Valve cover gasket (Justin Wagoner brand!)
• Replaced all hoses and clamps
• New temp sender
• New steel fuel line, replacing 15 foot of 1/4 inch rubber line!
• Header cleaned and painted
• New Monza aluminized exhaust system, & factory hanger kit
• Custom pipes to fill in the missing exhaust. Monza systems are NOT exact replacements, and there is a note saying such if you buy one (after you buy it). I added a section between the header and front pipe, and a section between the front and rear pipes (Approx three foot of pipe was used to accomplish this task)
• Rear diff gasket, cleaned and refilled

Body: (Absolutely no rust through can be found, lucky me!)

• Fresh paint "under body" after major steam cleaning
• Fresh paint in engine compartment (Black but it was black already, will be body colored when I repaint in x years)
• A few stress cracks Mig welded on the floor pans. Due to seat stress?
• A handful of holes Mig welded that were drilled in the floor pans by a PO for some unknown reason?
• Mig welded a crack in the lower front valance
• Door tracks cleaned, new rubber & fuzzy stuff
• New boot seal
• White Toneau cover (original color, NOS Amco)

• Painted inside of tub white, as original
• Purchased (missing) aluminum dash support, painted wrinkle black installed
• Made missing radio blank dash support filler out of 1988 IBM XT Computer case, using a friends for a template. Priced on Ebay got as high as 75 dollars for this, I don't think so! (pics) Who needs a radio, I want to hear the engine
• Replaced aftermarket oil gauge with correct Jaeger oil gauge and new sender unit
• Replaced Amp gauge with reconditioned gauge from "Fred Thomas" and yes the case is powder coated
• Cleaned all gauges and re-installed them
• Replaced suspect carpet with extras I had
• Cleaned and reinstalled all door handles and knobs etc
