Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed

Today I had a little fine tune on the engine, set the timing right, tried to tune the carb, but I need a digital tachometer to do it right.
But then again, I'm going with LPG instead of petrol, so then I will be doing it again....
It's running fine now, hope it stays that way to the inspection next week

Before you forget. I'm working on this thing


At home I started with the Jag hubs, machined them down to take a Chevy rim. The center hole of a Chevy is 2,4 mm smaller then the one from the Jag.

I set the hub in the lathe and fixed it, I had 0,1 mm swinging at last. Couldn't get it better.
Thats fine by me



Finished it looks like this:



That's all



Tomorrow we go testdrive the truck, check the steering, brakes, e-brakes and what else we come along.
Then it's waiting for the inspection.....fingers crossed....you'll never know how they look at old cars
