Haha. Friends are dedicated to me :D

anyways, it would be inevitable, with those clear tail lights, before a cop pulled me over, the stock lights with these lenses when i would have the brake light on, they would just shine white light. So they were sucky. So i bought 1157 LED lights from SuperLED.com. They are awesome. They come on fast. Very bright. And they make my lenses red and amber when running.

Sitting in a field. waiting for me to go at :twisted:

Really waiting on funds, i am selling a truck to earn some money, now that the sun is out over the PNW the grass has started to grow and i shall mow some lawns. quick little job i did today though:

Painted black after good cleaning:

Painting arms:
two coats of primer
two coats of color

Outcome is pretty good. it was hard getting all the paint out the small places but they came out good. no runs or bubbles. I am starting to get handy with spray cans :lol:

This:

i took it off the body though because it needed a good scrubbing. Using a lot of force and then a rotary buffer you can get it to sparkel.

Last night my dad got my mom this:

It kinda reminds me of how herbie falls in love with that yellow Lancia
so now i have been kicked to the right side of the garage :roll:

You live in Puyallup? I live in Spanaway and work in Puyallup. I have a '67 project going, too. Mine is Zenith Blue, though.

Looking good! FYI. Silver is the correct color for wiper blades. (SWF)
Example.

I popped the rubber wipers off my Bosch wiper brackets and painted them silver too. Looks awesome. Very much like OG.

I believe the wiper arms on a '67 are the same, left and right (113955407D). The shafts do have a left/right.

nothing picture worthy, but i have recently become obsessed with steel wool. it cleans everything so well. door jambs, door hindges, wheel wells. me gusta!

As of now, money is rolling in, got new window cranks, new ebrake boot, wheels soon to come!

Fri Jun 22, 2012 8:14 pm

Nice job so far, keep it up. Reminds me of my '67 I had when I was 18.
