'79 Wag BOV/thanks for the inspiration build

[bluehwy]

Cleaning up my linkage for the shifter. The grommet for the bushing is wore out. Need to source a new one and paint the linkage.

I second the request for the windshield install video.

Beautiful work. Nicely done.

The trim portion is pretty self explanatory. Using wire like pictured above you are opening the molding just enough that the lip on the trim will set in place. Through trial and error one will figure out how to keep the trim from slipping out (I used tape and my hands) while pulling the wire. Constant tension along the trim is necessary until getting the trim screws started. I worked one side and down around the bottom up the other side and across the top. I ended up taking off one side (in my case passenger) and did the top again before doing the side again last. Probably best not to tighten the trim screws all the way until happy with fitment.

Here's the video I found with a simple google search. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTcI8aWmtPY

Thanks, Rang! I'm happy with the way it looks too. Wanted to redo the vinyl but at $1,300 quoted from just dashes.com I will deal with the cracks and messed up speaker portion. Will likely mount a speaker there with the speaker cover on top to hide it like cu4hln suggested.

Getting close to firing her up!

Thank you.

It would've been worth the extra 50 to have it done. No really it is rewarding but if I knew what I would end up putting into it I wouldn't.

I'll try to update soon. Just got her running for the first time this month. Break in went almost perfect. Had hydro-boost lines crossed and mid break-in touched the steering wheel. Wow! Shut her down and restarted making sure not to pump it again until cams were broke in.

Just received Cliffhanger rear bumper. Can't seem to get anything custom from BJ's that isn't damaged in shipping. As stout as this bumper is I can't believe either that FedEx managed to dent it not only once but in four places.
