Photos of recent work
As promised earlier, here are some photos of my escepades of recent times.
2x NOS Oil Dip Sticks 1.jpg 2x NOS Oil Dip Sticks 2.jpg The NOS dipsticks I found at the Gympie Swap Meet on 14th.I only opened one. It cleaned up VERY well. Heads painted 2.jpg Heads were cleaned thoroughly, water necks repaired, then a lick of paint to make em pretty. You may notice the neck is wider at opening than closer to the head. That's my attempt to keep the hoses in place, since the remnants of the original rings around the circumfrence (for that purpose) were almost obliterated when the repairs were done. Left side exhaust pipe painted.jpg This is one of the exhaust pipes I was talking about. Is 2" tube the correct size for these trucks? I was considering making enquiries around town for a suitable (but not authentic!) round muffler, but will hold off doing so until I know the correct tube size. Oil pan painted.jpg This bloody oil pan didn't arf give me jip! My own fault though. Never mix paint types on same part.
