WIRING

Running a seperate white ground wire

on a perimeter circuit (via Mad Dog from the forums).

Each light has wire colors not in synce with

standard colors on the harness. Changed each one

to match spec.

Will also, add a red constant hot circuit for kitchen, reading, etc. 

More later.

All wiring in spaghetti tubing and snap on holders

are what they use to hold bundles in new cars. 

Needs a 1/4" hole drilled. Available at NAPA.

Will make for Ez repairs and upgrades/ add-ons/etc.

LIGHTS

Using can over cab ambers. Like the classic

funk-o-steampunk effect.

Notice: set up a second wire/white/ground.

More later on that.

LED stop tail. Ebay. Very clean, bright. Nothing sticking

out to attack shins in darkness.

FENDERS

Inside, coat of bedliner

Outside, couple of coats of hard gloss wheel clear

Flipping the axle requires new holes for

fender mounting plates

Fender will ride about a inch higher

AXLE

Gave the spindle a good cleaning with emory cloth.

Loaded the hubs completely full of good grease.

Used double Nyloks and thread covers

MORE WHEELS

First, you gotta spin 'em

Then, a bit of steady hand. Used One Shot sign paint

thinned about 30%

Pretty fair, not Von Dutch quality

WHEELS

Prep is a good scuff with 3M

red pad, clean with lak thinner.

SLIPPER SPRING SNUBBERS

Maybe this will stop the noise

on the frame from the slip spring

loss end. Old tire sidewall and JB Weld.

Good surface prep, sanding, and clamping should hold

it.

COATING FRAME

Painting with bedliner material is not 

the right term. Slathering doesn't quite

match the process. let's see......

slab-slobbering....yeah that's it.

Weird stuff......use gloves. When it dries it's impervious

to every solvent.

When it's on the ground I think the big, flat exposed

surfaces should get a finish coat of a very thinned out

mix with a short knapped roller.

FINAL FRAME AND WELD

Going to use both bolts and weld.

Just a little bending was necessary to square tongue.
