Installing the windows.

Today we started with the installation of the windows in the car.
We started with the rear corner windows and worked our way to the back window. That all went good and we started with the windshield. By opening the bag of the seal we noticed that is was a rubber for a standard installation. We ordered a delux version but something went wrong with the delivery. So the front windshield could not be installed.

 So then we started with the installation of the front wings.

 As soon that we got the inner fenders in place we were able to install the fenders and the front wind deflector.

 We also had some time to install the gas filler neck on the car.

And that is were we ended the day.
Tomorrow we will continue with the rest.

More electrics

The last 2 days we did some more work on the car.
Yesterday it was to late to give an update so I make it now.
The trim around the door windows are installed in place and that make the door almost finished Only the door cards need to go in but that will be for the upholstery guy.

 We also put the wire loom in the car together with more components.

 And the taillights were installed. They still have to be connected to the wire loom.

 Today we installed the glove box the heater and some more components and we laid some wires to hook everything to the wire loom.

 The holes at the location of the heater were all covered with rubber grommets That will be done to all the holes that are not used.

 And at last we installed the radio with speakers and cover.

All the wires will be hooked up to an additional fuse box which will be installed under the dashboard (at a later date).

First electric component

We started early working on the car.
One Co-worker was working on the pedals and the starter switch to perfect the fit in the car.
An other  Co-worker was  putting in the cabin sealing around the doors, he also helped me to put on the rear fenders on the car.

 We also attached the Identification card back in the car. Around the door sil you can see the black striped that runs vertically near it. That is part of the cabin sealer. However when closing the door there is still a gap around the door trough which air and driving noise can enter in the cabin.

 We also installed the brackets that hold the spare wheel on its place.

 And then the gas tank was installed in its place. That was the end of the day for my Co-workers. And then I installed the first electric component on the car. The Windshield wiper motor

And then the connecting rods are installed.

So that's it for today.

Finishing the doors.

A lot of work has gotten into the project today.

 Today we installed the windows in the doors.

 And the door latch and catch and the door handle.

Beside the doors there went a lot of work connecting the gas and other pedals to the floor.
And tomorrow we will continue the job.

Starting to reassemble

Today we started the major job of reassembling the car.

 First we installed the cabin on the chassis.

 Then the truck bed and the rear bumper assembly. And many other parts.

 On the floor of the cabin and on the back panel I installed some sound deadening mats. They will keep the noise of the panels to a normal level.

We are back.

Today I made some minor parts for the install of the body components that are back from the painter.

 Spacers for the cabin

 Lock plate for the cabin.

 Place holders for the Bed.

And Here is are some pictures from the painted parts after arrival.

For the steps I also made some tools.

Tools

This is a short report of what happened the past 3 days.
Thursday I started fabricating a new tool. Its a tool holder for the lathe. which enables me to turn some radius on the lathe from 0 - 30 mm inside and outside.
This first picture shows the frame.

 In this picture below I started fabricating the holder that rotates in the frame.

 Friday the cabin, truck bed and other body components that needs painting are loaded on a trailer to bring them to the painter.

 Today I completed the tool holder.
Here I'm milling the holder.

 This is the first trial fit of the tool.

 And this picture shows the completed tool holder with the chisels mounted.

Monday I can start making the last dies that I need.
