What have you done to your slick today??
Re: What have you done to your slick today??
Got it washed up and took it out to dry it and check out my new GPS. Darn GPS is bad cause it's 5 mph faster than my 65 speedo. Guess I'll take it back cause it 'd have to be the gps.

adjusted timing and the carb. I think I got it right now at least she sound like it. Then cut a load of firewood and loaded her up.
Even the antiques have to work around this house

Hung the dogs wet blankets all over the bed, hood, and fenders to dry.

Does unburying the new project count? Going thru tubs of parts, seeing whats there, whats brand new. Just plumbed and wired in my heat in the garage, makes it alot nicer, a new/old oil heater out of a trailer, takes up as much room as a file cabinet.

Drove truck yesterday and the fuel and temp gauge suddenly pegged out, Checked the voltage from the instrument panel regulator and it had shorted out so ordered a new one from Macs. may have burned up the temp gauge , wont know until i put the new regulator in.

Re: What have you done to your slick today??
Worked on a new speaker box for the truck. This is the third time I've redesigned the enclosures for this truck. Hopefully thisll be the last time

The enclosure still needs a bit of fiberglass but im happy with it so far

Re: What have you done to your slick today??
I put a set of new tires on mine. Huge difference in ease of steering at low/no speeds over the 8 year old set. Installed my rebuilt original power brake booster along with a new master cylinder and the trucks driving like a dream now. Better than it ever has since I've owned it anyway.

Installed the CV booster/master, brake padal assembly, electric gas pedal, and cut the holes in the firewall for the wireing to run through. After it was all in, I decided to not remove the electrical controls for the power pedals. Just one more cool thing for the uni!

Re: What have you done to your slick today??
Finally quit raining here, (temporarily), so I (temporarily) put away my cubit conversion table. Put a Blaster coil on the towtruck, proceeded to get it good 'n muddy; took advantage of the dry streets to heat up the tires on Spot
Charged up the battery on the Uni, gawked at my neighbor's new paint job on his '66- purty, nice new seat upholstery, and Cardinal Red at that!

Prepped the body for lift off next weekend. Took 3 of us about four hours to strip out cab and bed. Plan on sliding the cab back, leaving the front clip.

Re: What have you done to your slick today??
there is a wire inside the gauge not much thicker than a hair, likely broken.i have taken apart several that did not work and found this problem.

Re: What have you done to your slick today??
went out to start and run my 65 and my sons 64 yesterday. It was 10 degrees outside and they hadnt been run in about a month. I got my truck open but my sons door buttons were frozen. Finally got the 65 to fire and ran it about 20-30 minutes. Ill try my sons 64 next weekend if it warms up.
