Tks bud , but ya cant have it ..
I'm going to leather wrap/stich it when I find the time

 

It was worth a shot haha. Your leather work is coming out great. I like the fact your using old leather. Let me know if you run short, I've got alot of old motorcycle racing leathers.

 

got some work on the console done today .. glued in the shifter boot hold downs , and cut the hole for the lumbar support switch .





also got some work done on the intercooler/turbo piping

So I just became a member here yesterday, I have to say if membership were to cost money, this build would make the fee worth it. Thank you for such an in depth build post. I look forward to seeing so much more from you!!!!

 

His 83 Trekker build is one of my all time favorite builds.

 

i know!! I'm an hour into that one right now! He's a master at his craft

 

thanks guys .. enjoy the read K91776

 

OOOOH! That tranny belongs in a James Bond movie
A new meaning to the phrase "the Golden Standard"
Love this build!

 

thanks ..
lots of people bugged me about this .. I just think they don't have the "vision" and couldn't "see" the end product .
it's gonna look smokin' from the underside , as well as the top side .. I think anyway !

 

I keep coming back to this thread. I can't wait to see this truck completed and running.

 

^^Same!

 

still waiting on my power window switches before I can paint the console , but did finalize the shifter boot mounting .

so busy as usual .. but I have managed to get a few things done in the last couple of weekends .
Built my Custom tail gate



also powder coated the guts and a couple of other pieces .




also just about finished the air intake system . I had to build a new MAF mount . So I started with the raw chunk of metal and went to work . Cut , welded and powdercoated .. very happy with the final result . Replaced the o-ring , and thread locked the new mount hardware .

 

Lookin good brotha! Keep on truckin

 

Really nice work!

 

Tks fellas

 

air intake now sealed .. just need a few more clamps







and now I think the last "custom" pieces for the engine I need to build .. new W/Washer tank , and rad overflow tank . here is where I'm starting .





.

 

finally got my window switches .. I guess the first set got lost .
I think the contrast of the billet is gonna look sweet .



got them mounted , and now I can finish the console



also , almost got my w/washer tank and rad over flow done .. just a little more to do .









just have to build the mount brackets , then I will sand blast again , TIG the top on , and then powder coat inside and out .. and done .

Are you going to sell fiberglass versions of the shift surround?
