Re: 1984 Chevy El Camino

i thought the bolts that came with the shifter were too small, so i picked up some 3/8 x 1.5" bolts from home depot... i need to make two mounting points for the shifter, so i got two bolts, 4 washers, 2 lock washers and four nuts... making the front of the shifter adjustable....

had to make the holes bigger

then

then on to the seat brackets...
placed old seats in to get ruff estimate on location...

then marked them, ground paint off, if not makes for good fires...lol... then re placed seat in to make sure still aligned, tack welded brackets, then welded them... i dont know if it is just me, but i had to tweak em, to get the seat to sit somewhat level...

then sprayed primer real quick, to prevent, stop rust from forming, gonna sand it all down and re paint decent later, but just after prepping bare metal its a good idea to cover it...

raggety engine compartment, slow motor...

cleaned up the radiator a little and put on and wired the fans up (the proper way)... gonna be taking these fans out shortly, but trying to get the thing driveable for bro to take it later today...

after., cleaning and a little sanding, not perfect but just for the primer and paint to stick for now...

then black

Re: 1984 Chevy El Camino

soldered and wired up fans...

attached them to radiator, forgot to attach the new coolant res. prior to tying it together, so may have to pull apart, or use the stock one for today...

made a silly little bracket to go under the cover plate of the top of the radiator...

ran a tiny wire for the audio, while the carpet was out

just when it seems like good progress, then the shifter wants to act an @22.
