Thanks Sum for the windscreen bumpf. Good stuff in there. I wonder how optically pure doing it this way is though?
We have had a diversive set back:
Building a car is one thing, then there is the trailer to put it on (in) but we didn't expect we had to rebuild the bloody tow truck as well!!!
Its been a bad Christmas break for the truck.
Firing badly, hole in the extractor, and using way too much gas (Runs on natural gas not gasolene). The engine was tested and found to be low on compression and the decision made to finally replace the donk. Have gone for a chevy 350V8, new carb and electronic dist. with Vortec head, roller rockers etc. Will ebay the old one.
Dr Goggles pulled out the old engine today and found the clutch also needs replacing. sheesh.
Now this truck was my home for three and a half years so I have a lot of fond memories of it (and some crap ones too) so I having decided to bring it up to speed, I have decided to do it properly.
Its a 350 Custom 30 Chev tray with a step through motorhome on the back. Sleeps four and has shower kitchen and toilet.
Have been meaning to do a number on the interior but nothing really done as yet. Focusing too much on the belly tank.
Shall paint the Reverend Hedgash Dr Goggles racing team logo and maybe some flames on the white body too. Crossed racing flags at the front. Has some very nice striping done at present. A little more Urban Cowboy than von Dutch...
Still, should trick up nicely to be a salt lake push truck / team headquarters and home away from home.
Shall post images of engine install as we go.
Its a never ending list to get there isn't there?
