What have you done to your slick today??
Re: What have you done to your slick today??
Installed my 292 Y block this weekend, Now I can start putting the front end back together. Should be ready to fire up by next weekend I hope, as soon as I figure out the three speed on the tree linkage deal!
Re: What have you done to your slick today??
Loaded mine with fertilizer and garden stuff . Got a little garden planted today.
Re: What have you done to your slick today??
Well, I started removing most of my front end that I had put on last weekend. I put the spacers in the wrong place on my shift tube and the only way to get to it is to removed the core support inner fender, and the column I just put in. That's why they call them projects I guess..... What's a guy to do? Hey

Got most of the Crown Vic rear installed. Need to finish running brake lines.

I changed out the seat tracks for a better fit. I had installed a bench from a '92 F150 years ago by welding some plate the the seat tracks that matched the holes in my '65. I took the tracks off, and merged the mounting plate from the original seat with the part that mounts to the seat on the '92 version. Worked better than expected. The placement of the tracks on the 92 were the same as for the '65.

Put my radiator in last night..... That was the last thing I need to do before pushing it out of the garage and putting on jack stands and firing it up for the first time in over a year. Oh, I need to stop and pick up 5 gals of gas on my home first. Then fire it up ! Can't wait!

Re: What have you done to your slick today??
Well, I took mine for it's first test drive in over a year. But not without issues........ I returned home after a mile down the road with a heater core leaking inside the truck. By passed it for now and tried another test drive got about 3 miles down the road and the turn lamps, dash lamps, fuel gauge and water temp stopped working. Back home to inspect the wiring thought I had it corrected so I drove it to church on Sunday. Lights were still giving me fits on and off, on and off! I should have spent a little more time at church on Sunday because how I talked to my little red truck after this light problem..... Well lets just say Lord have mercy! And forgive me!
So, now it's back in the garage the fuse box is on one side of the garage and the tuck on the other! So, that's the project I will be working on the rest of the week.
But, the good news is.....it seen daylight for the first time in over a year..... That was a nice feeling! Just didn't last that long! LOL

Re: What have you done to your slick today??
3 different issues (not counting the heater)
flickering headlights usually the headlight switch itself,no fuse but an internal circuit breaker in the switch.dash lamps are controlled by a resistor coil(spring) on the headlight switch.
turn lamps most likely the flasher especially if the brake lights are working.
fuel and water temp gauges are run thru the instrument voltage regulator.

Finished up the LED tail lights and got them ready for paint. I won't wire them until after they're painted but they look bitchin'.
I'm not arguing with you. I'm just explaining why I'm right.
Pardon me. Does your deaug bite?

Used the slick to take a load to the scrap yard then did a quick run to the PYP yard. 1 66 F350 there but pretty well picked over. Then came back and fixed one of the power windows, just a screw backed out so it was good to go in 5 min

Finally got tired of it not just running right, ran a number of tests, determined the #1 intake cam lobe is almost flat on my 300, pulled the cam, and ordered the new parts.
Re: What have you done to your slick today??
Added a reverse light switch and cup holders.
Just small stuff.
