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. |
