R/T Restoration Work In Progress

 

While the body shop hasn't made much progress, here's what we've done over the past few months.

At this point, the heater box is complete, with the exception of the blower motor. My Dad is cleaning it up.

The dash assembly is complete. I need a new ash tray. If anyone happens to have an extra(any color), send me an email.

Here is the new a/c controller. The ends were soldered to the original, so I did the same with the new controller.

The original bulkhead connector was badly damaged. I found a new one on ebay. This was the only thing that was wrong with the original dash wiring harness.

I swapped wires to the new bulkhead connector one at a time. Some of the wires were completely missing, so I had to track them down using a wiring diagram in the service manual.

This is the start of the transmission reassembly. This picture shows the tailshaft, bearing and governer.

Here is a picture of the overrunning clutch/sprag.

All of the clutch, planetary sets, and bands in place…

Tailpanel all painted. I chose not to fix the small dent because I'd end up making it worse.
