sorry missed this one the hog troughs
-
I did mine ..use the one piece as it is a lot stronger also I have extra s.steel pop rivets if you need them...removing all the excess rusted troughs and glue is a (dirty) job onece done wipe the underside down with some cleaner solvent and re glue the new ones in then pop rivet you will have to cut a sq section out of the rear inner wheels well to access some of the bolts at the very end...then reglue the sq back in and cover with undercoating here's 3 links to my you tube posts

same thing with me.... headliner..went to a auto upholster and he said ...nope!...can't do it said he couldn't make the bends
-
anyone know about any sort of headliner replacements my headliner that surrounds the sunroof is shot due to water leakage (above both doors) it has seperated and is coming down badly
-
anyone know about getting a new headliner all I really need is the part that goes around the sunroof on an 83...thanks

nice to know that I think I'll give it a try

like they say 'can't hurt' if you cut the floor all you need to do is couple 2" sq. pieces, save the piece and re glue it back when your done, you would need to get a long reach sprayer hose to get reach to the ends of the troughs also look for any drain holes that you can get into you may want to cut a hole in the back wheel well to get the very end of the trough... I made a sprayer out of a garden fertilizer pump sprayer and made a hose attachment for long reach then used it to spray the inside of my frame with it diluted mix
if you cut the holes you may want to blow the troughs out before spraying
-
I have the computer off my 83 with the connection plug...is it worth anything?
-
possible proportion valve is too close to the headers and is getting hot!...will work on insulating it monday
-
anyone know the brake line order for the proportioning valve my brakes are pulling to the left then the right and smoking we may have mixed the lines up on the valve ..or any other suggestions as to why?
