Birddog's Baja build

[birddog1148]

Well, after having the car for 5 yrs, I FINALY started the build. Its a '69 that I bought with a locked up motor and it was an auto-stick. It now has a manual trans and engine from a '73 or 74. Instaled a CNC clutch pedal, a used baja kit, waiting on white spoke wheels to come in.

Cigarettes are like squirrels, they are both harmless until you put one in your mouth and light it on fire.

On the road for the first time this weekend, put 15 miles ot the odometer. Leaking oil from the valve covers and from the oil fill cap. Right rear shock lost the lower bushing so I got one heck of a rattle. New shift rod bushing and got the shifter working ok, still think I need a longer shift rod.

Ps what is the little red button on the dash with a B in it that lights when you push it?

The red idiot light with a "B" on it is the brake warning light. If you loose brake pressure the light comes on, if it works. I have never had one that worked right. I have always relied on my E-brake just in case.

[birddog1148]

Thanks, now I know!

No problem. If you take the light out, it gives you a good location for an extra switch. Keep the pics coming.

[birddog1148]

When I build my bumpers and put lights on them, I think I will use the stock radio hole as a switch panel, and mount the cd player and CB in a custom mount under the dash.

Well she went on the first road trip, 200 miles to get a roof rack. Great gas milage compared to the F150.

Alt wasnt charging but delt with that, developed an oil leak by dist and blew something off the carb, took a vac plug stuffed with a stick to get home. Dont know what came off the carb but it was big.
