Great work here! Hey, there's a cat on here with a big chub for the sixer's with a detailed thread on them. Here it is, he's got a 250/Weber combo, could be a good resource. Keep it up!

Keep rocking dude.

Pretty impressive how clean you got everything using mostly just wire wheels, i thought you used some type of media blaster.

most of the parts are media blasted; whatever fits in the blast cabinet on base is blasted for sure. The engine block, firewall, and cross-member are all done with fiber wheels and wire wheels. Frame is next; going to do it the same way, but will have to do it in stages so not entirely sure how that will turn out (fingers crossed)

got some goodies today! woot woot!

So I wanted to add power steering and air conditioning. Can't afford the A/C conversion right now so I'll only be adding power steering to the little inliner at this time.

Using these brackets:

this gives you a better idea of what I have going on. My plan was/is

1. strip/paint engine block
2. strip/paint firewall
3. strip/paint section of front frame where the stock cross-member bolts too
4. strip/paint stock cross member
5. bolt painted cross-member to painted section of frame
6. tape off/cover freshly painted surfaces
7. repeat section by section until complete

rusty76 · 09-08-2013, 02:40 PM

Looking good dude. I like the mounts for the power steering. They look nice.

That firewall looks great, Did you spray it or brush it?

Jabes1 · 09-12-2013, 02:03 PM

Nice work!

Billy81 · 09-12-2013, 03:51 PM

Well you Sir are one talented dude because that looks great for a foam brush job, i honestly couldn't tell if it was sprayed or not.

Looking sweet!

moregrip · 09-28-2013, 01:49 PM

Thanks again, the finish is far from perfect but good enough for a daily runner!

Going to give the Weber 2 barrel (38DGES) a try:

Also decided to run an upgraded front caliper (dual piston):
