More under hood details.
Manifolds installed. The exhaust was lightly bead blasted, then Calyx manifold dressing was applied to give it a cast iron look. We've driven it about 50 miles so far and it still looks that good. We also have it on our Ford 8N tractor and we only have to touch it up about once a year.
Heater, cowl panel, and wipers installed:
Detailded the new master cylinder. Also bead blasted and reused as many original bolts as possible.
Detailed the steering column and shift linkage:
Carb and throttle linkage:
Bent new fuel and vacuum lines:
Had the radiator shrouds powdercoated, then wired/glued on new seals.
Inner fenders and radiator support installed. Had these powdercoated.
Steering column cover:
I thought I'd check out the original harness before I bought a new one. There had been some wires added in that I had to remove but it was in pretty good shape.
After cleaning, rewrapping, and installing in the truck:
New voltage regulator (with the old cover bead blasted and painted to look original), bead blasted and cleared the horn relay, and applied some vinyl dressing to the wires to bring out their color.
Engine compartment pretty much finished up:
