I saw your question on the door window install and came across these pictures from MotherTrucker on the Hamb, hope they help.

crossfire84 · 07-07-2016, 05:33 AM

wow! thank you.

crossfire84 · 07-12-2016, 06:36 PM

Installed the new gages today.

99 to Life · 07-12-2016, 06:42 PM

nice, those are about the only aftermarket gauges I can stand. They look good.

crossfire84 · 07-12-2016, 07:41 PM

thank you! they are a nice fit.

crossfire84 · 07-22-2016, 05:46 PM

A little more done, Assembling front clip and running wires. Should have all parts back from paint tomorrow, And yes its hot here 92 in garage with fans.

99 to Life · 07-22-2016, 11:41 PM

coming together. So hot here too, Im dreading working tomorrow in the humidity. I have to go buy a fan cause I don't have a work fan. keep it up, you'll be cruising soon.

crossfire84 · 07-27-2016, 06:53 PM

So today I set the new glass in the frames with setting tape. I did a small how to on this, hope this helps someone.

The new tape has a cloth face and a rubber back with a peel off liner, there is no adhesion on the tape. Place rubber side on glass and use electrical tape to hold it on.

Cut small notches at corners as you go around the window.
Slide window in frame, It may be snug so tap easy, I put mine on a bath towel.

Leave the tape on it's so thin its fine.

Assemble then take a razor blade and trim around the frame and your done.

99 to Life · 07-27-2016, 07:35 PM

nice job

**Advanced Design** · 07-27-2016, 08:45 PM

Good tutorial, looks very nice!

crossfire84 · 07-28-2016, 05:31 AM

thanks

crossfire84 · 08-12-2016, 07:20 PM

So today I put the wind lace in, not a fun job so after trying dish soap,Vaseline,WD40 I found the perfect stuff to use. The goop that electricians use to pull wire. Menards has it and it worked perfect.
Be liberal in its use you cannot use too much.
Goop the back of rubber then do the tracks and outside of tracks.

**joedoh** · 08-12-2016, 11:20 PM

looks great!

I wish more things applied to this advice!

solidaxel · 08-13-2016, 02:21 PM

I have used that to pull cable, good idea!
Be sure to wipe up the excess before it dries, seems like it desolves with water

Works great and cleans up with a damp rag.

99 to Life · 08-13-2016, 07:16 PM

good job, I just screwed mine in. Wasn't wanting to go in, maybe I'll have more patience next time and try this!

crossfire84 · 08-14-2016, 08:43 AM

..

crossfire84 · 10-27-2016, 05:51 PM

So today I finished running the fuel and return lines.
I put a large canister filter in back and a 40 micron in front of carb.
I ran aluminum lines down the frame rail.

crossfire84 · 02-22-2017, 07:26 PM

Rear brake lines in and radiator in, Getting close now!

99 to Life · 02-22-2017, 11:36 PM

nice, just in time for spring!

crossfire84 · 06-17-2017, 04:58 PM

Its been a while but more work this week.
Shifter and boot+ring in.
Under dash A/C in, still have to plumb it.
Parking brake handle, lines in.
Engine hoses, fuel, vacuum in.
Carpet in.

**joedoh** · 06-19-2017, 10:48 PM

looks good! I bet you are chomping at the bit to run with it.

99 to Life · 06-20-2017, 06:27 PM

ah the final stretch, can seem never ending too!

crossfire84 · 06-22-2017, 12:49 PM

getting close!

crossfire84 · 09-16-2017, 04:50 PM

Getting closer, however the hyd clutch does not engage far enough to shift. Going to have to look for a longer throw. But it sounds sweet!
