    Scottsdale Spear Molding

    I would like to put it back on my Sierra if I could. It was listed on the RPO, however, it wasn't there when I got it.

    Are all replacement brake hard lines equal?

    I have classic tube for my stainless lines, like everyone said with the Inline, they were close but we made adjustments as necessary. The fuel line we really had to adjust because I added a filter on the outside of the frame and we were trying to keep plenty of space when things crossed.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Moved the chassis into the other garage and got the Cobra down. Haven't touched the Cobra since December and I am at the point where I don't have a lot to do on the chassis so I can let it set in the air for a bit. I hope we can get started on the cab rust repairs soon now that it is cooling...

    Led headlight mod

    I am not a fan of the holley retrobrights. The ones I saw on a Jeep a while back stuck out and looked kinda funny. I run Hellas in both my Square that is blown apart and 67 Mustang. They are DOT approved and have great cut offs. Pictures for reference are in my Square. Here is them on the 67...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    The hose is bolted to the bracket that holds the brake hose, the ss line is held by a bolt through the frame using individual P clamps, they are only using the same bolts, not attached in any way. This was what I had done just to keep things out of the way but decided why not do something more...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Worked on it over the weekend, decided to do the vent line a bit different than attaching it to the bed Cleaned up the firewall for the truck and the back side of the bumper and painted the bumper so it could be installed. Unfortunately, the bumper step that was on it is rusted pretty bad so...

    Cab repair - Cab corners - rockers - floor pans etc

    Man, I am faking it till I make it. Just a dumb electrical engineer.

    Cab repair - Cab corners - rockers - floor pans etc

    You can actually get a full floor 4wd floor now. I plan on making my own removable hump since I really like how my 77 has it as well. As far as bracing it, I braced mine like this but as you can see, I am removing the whole floor pan. I added an additional brace after the fact so we could...

    Anyone used the old ash tray for something (else) that's interesting?

    I am planning to make a cell phone mount for mine. I need to find or design the right phone mount though. Figured this would be good enough instead of installing some kind of screen in the truck since there is 12v right there to charge it.

    Show your daily driver

    2013 F150 FX4 with the coyote. It has just under 200k and has been a great vehicle. I have a 2020+ GT500 blower to install on it once I get my 77 done and have another truck in the fleet to do truck things with.

    Dual tank solenoid valve

    No, but I am restoring my truck so I went ahead and made all new stainless lines, plus showing how I ran them. I only have a 3 port.

    Dual tank solenoid valve

    If you can bend lines, can make the hard lines real nice as well. I got a selector valve from Napa for my 77, its a single terminal unit with 3 ports, 2 to the tanks and 1 up to the pump.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Finished up the hard lines, both brake and fuel. I like the way these are bent versus the pre bent ones I bought. Waiting on the clamps so I can button up the fuel system until I have the engine in

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Did the brake lines from the combination valve throughout the frame, modified fuel lines to install a canister fuel filter, made lines for the passenger side tank. Unfortunately we ran out of stainless line to make the driver side line so we'll hunt for that tomorrow.

    They're not perfect but they'll look good on the truck also buttoned up the grill.

    When is the last time you actually installed points and a condenser? The old man still has some Ac Delco and Motorcraft units in the parts cabinet. He did end up converting to an electronic ignition on the 67 though.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    All gloss orange, wanted it to match as I'm changing other things, like the fender emblems away from factory.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Yeah I've been using a syringe and Testors paint, messed up the "8,400 GVW." So I'm trying a different method

    Some emblem restoration and seeing if I can use the same method on the hubcaps.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    It was 92 the other day in the pool, a storm came through and it was warmer than the air. Still feels decent when you're in it though. Even with the fans, the garage is just a sweat box, not the best working environment. Eventually I will ante up and get the split unit so I can cool it down but...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Went on a few side quests since its been hot. I decided to make my own 383 emblems based off the 75/76 emblems for my custom fabbed grill. To make the GMC match, I decided to make one of those too, as you can see, I ran out of paint. I will finish painting the GMC and then restore some other...

    Car Hauler tips/tricks/ideas

    Here is my 18' steel deck trailer, added a winch and box for straps, moved the spare so it wasn't in my way so much, added a removable jack so I could actually open the tailgate, added more D rings, and a solar panel for the battery. Oh I also added provisions to use a WDH. With the cars, I...
