Expert 5K+ Posts: 8443 Location: Perth Australia | Its not wired yet, but I did give it a go on the floor and it wasnt that load at all I also have to get some ducting for it because I am using the centre speaker hole for its intake instead of one of the outside ones I might turn the outlet around to act as an a/c duct later, but I havnt decided yet, I have an under dash one to go in the front once I work out how to mount a compressor I am thinking about putting the compressor next to the carbies like where the hemi generator goes? I also realised after I put the rear seat in that I forgot to run the antenea lead and the speaker wires for the back as well With all the nice new stuffing in the seats, getting the seat base in and out is a bit of a battle I also just fitted a 5 button heater control, so I now have to work out how to make the heater stuff that was controlled by cables work on vacuum If I get time tommorow, it will finally get an orriginal (plymouth) am radio (hope it still works | ||

Board Moderator & Exner Expert 10K+ Posts: 13049 Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | Yeah Mick - that's a good sewing machine and perhaps you could cut the investment by doing another couple of seats for someone down there. I would like to come, but I still have to figure out if I could do it upside down  Edited by wizard 2014-12-22 9:51 AM | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 8443 Location: Perth Australia | Another little milestone today I put 30 miles on it today trying to get it inspected for licencing I went to a tyre place to get tyres put on it (kind of obvious ) and they took their sweet time doing it and I missed my window to get it inspected, but the car went fine except 1 plug lead fell off The temp gauge decided it wasnt going to work anymore and that was about it except my nice original (plymouth) radio doesnt work either, but listening to the car was more important anyway I now have a lot of work backed up, so it will be another week or so before I give it another try I am a bit pieved about the tyre guys, as I was trying to have it going this weekend for a big car show (not really into shows, but it would have been good to maybe catch up with a few of the other Perth f/l owners who would most likely rock up) Anyway, theres always next year | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 8443 Location: Perth Australia | Thanks for the comments That vent is one of the tinker jobs I have to do The original heater in the r/h/d cars is the mopar truck heater and mine failed, so it got a heater/ac unit instead, but the truck heater had a big air hose that went from that hole to the heater inlet (where the heater and ac hoses are now going through) for fresh air It still has the fresh air flap inside the car, but that was used for heated fresh air I will be making a round plate to remove that hole and block it off when I work out a nicer way to run all the cables ect so the firewall doesnt look so messy I like the colour it has in photographs as well, but in real life, its green The picture with the bonnet up, the underside of the bonnet colour is more like it I wonder if its the clear coat that makes it look blue in pictures ( I didnt clear under there) ? | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 8443 Location: Perth Australia | Its licensed After a little stress I took it in on Monday afternoon for its inspection, but because it hadnt been licensed since before 1979, there was no record of the VIN# (it had been cancelled), the guy that was doing the inspection was saying that there was no way to prove it was an Aussie built car and that the steering might have to be checked by an automotive engineer and he sent me off to get the car weighed (1760 KG), so, when I got home, I rang the previous owner to ask if they had any record of what the last license plate was or any other details that might help, but they didnt know what its last plate was either, so that was the end of it for Monday Tuesday morning, I rang the New South Wales (Australian state) licensing department again (This was the last place it was licensed. I had tried to confirm the VIN a few times before) and got onto a helpful guy there who spent some time with me on the phone trying to find the car in their records without any luck, but what he did find was a page on their site called a "descriptor" that you can put in your vehicle make and model and it comes up with an example of the VIN and some other detail (I found it interesting), anyway, while I was on the phone to the guy in NSW, I had another phone call come that was the vehicle inspector telling me that its all been approved so I could come and get the paperwork and go get it licensed Here is where you would think I would be saying that I rushed off to do just that, but unfortunately work got in the way and I didnt get a chance to until the afternoon All done now, I am still waiting for personalized plates to come, so its got standard ones on for now that after fitting, required a couple of hours test driving It drove well, did seem to get a bit warm and I think I need to get phenolic plates to go under the carbies to stop the fuel disappearing out of them when it sits there hot | ||
