Re: Old Girl (aka Project Underhaulin)
I promised my better half that I would give up CTC for HRPT. But I might be able to swing going for a few days, I'll have to see when it gets closer.

I think we're going to give these headers a try, hoping they will tuck nicely up into the frame. Flowtech 31500FLT

Looks good Buck!
I think I'm going to try Doug's D375Y Tri-Y's, they seem to tuck up nicely, and give clearance for the Z-bar when I switch back to a stick. ;) |
Re: Old Girl (aka Project Underhaulin)
^^^ I can vouch for the Doug’s as far as fit & finish. I have them in my ‘63 Falcoon with a EFI 347 and they fit like a glove.

Swapped the small tail lights for the correct units, the small ones didn't have the correct harness so they were constantly having issues with brake and signal lights not working. We like the look for the original style better...

Re: Old Girl (aka Project Underhaulin)
They look good. Sorry I didn't get to see you at CTC.

Re: Old Girl (aka Project Underhaulin)
Tail lights look great and I love the license plate.

We've been putting some miles on the Old Girl but it's time to get some climate control. We're working on installing the Vintage Air Kit we purchased through Matt's Classic Bowtie Parts. We've got quite a bit done but had one setback so far. The existing heater return fitting was for 3/4" hose and the Vintage Air kit uses 5/8" hose for the supply and return for the heater. Luckily our local parts house was able to get one today, so that is installed as well as the heater hoses. We're working on finishing up the wiring and the A/C hoses, hope to them gathered up tomorrow night. Here are some pictures of our progress.

I'm proud of the work my boy (C10punk)has been putting in the last few days, from crimping a/c hoses to soldering terminals on the 1/0 wire for new battery cable and engine/chassis ground straps he's done very well.

Some shots of the interior...
Marking the cut lines for the center vent, I hate doing these but I think it turned out well. Attachment 1842449 Center Vent installed.... Attachment 1842450 Driver side vent... Attachment 1842451 |
Re: Old Girl (aka Project Underhaulin)
Nice. I sure do like the aftermarket style side vents over the factory balls. It was a pain to cut on the bend of my 70.

Picked up an old friend yesterday, was the motorvation intended for the project we called Shiro, took a day trip over to Louisiana and bought it back from Bowtie468. The final plan is still unknown but this little peach is going in this truck one way or another!
