more RPU progress




Every day I make more progress. Its seems for the time I put in at the shop I would get more done, some days I work all day and it looks as if nothing was done.
I installed the heater hoses today, went to town for the shop to crimp the ends, found out their crimper would not fit on my ends, I decided to cut the ferrules off and use the Gates heat shrink clamps. You know they look better than the crimped ones would have. The problem was the trip and the time at the shop was a wasted almost 2 hours.
The bed is on, bolted down, tail lights in and wired, I installed the bed "filler" pieces. I decided to glue stainless mesh behind the holes, I think it looks good.The speakers are in and wired, as is the third brake light.
I woke up last night remembering that there was not a thermostat in the manifold, I had already sealed and bolted the water neck on, so off it came. I'm not sure why I woke up thinking that.
I powder coated the brackets for the bed fillers and also the valve cover hold downs, so they are now bolted in place.
It has to be done by March 20 for the interior shop appointment, I figure it should be done by this weekend.
