Check the ground to the chassis and body panels, new paint can make it an issue.

It does not matter what you think, it only matters what you do about it!

Update on the Monster Hauler. I finally got to hear the motor through the new exhaust. It was short lived, seems my Craigslist carb is having some issues. This is after I replaced the points by the way which were toast. Fix one issue, find another. Not sure whats up with the carb. Swapping it out on Sunday with a rebuilt Holley and hoping that remedies the situation. I can then set the timing and get it dialed in and REALLY hear it well. And get some video. Two steps forward, one step back. Pretty normal for my car projects.

Well, due to having four project cars and running two side business its been a little while since I posted any updates. Let me get some updates going. Here is a quick vid of the engine running. Choke is not hooked up so you'll see that flapping about but you'll get the idea.

paint on the doors is all done finally. Now I can get them put back together. Feels good to have at least one thing done. Paint came out nice and I love the color combo. Wimbledon White and Performance Red.

Re: '62 F250 Monster Hauler build
Does anyone have a wiper switch? The actual knob with switch that mounts into the dash? Mine was missing when I got the truck. I've looked and they don't seem to replicate that part from what i can find. I need the bezel too. Any advice or direction would be great. Thanks.
Here are some updated photos. Doors went back on and I got the front window installed over the weekend. Still have a bunch of paint work to do and am now assembling the dash. Feels good to be bolting parts back on. I am dropping off my seat on Friday at the upholsterer.
