importwarrior Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) as far as front seat stiff wrinkle,that is basically a 1/2 inch wide piece of plastic that goes across the seat from side to side.if you took the leather off the seat and looked at the under side you would see it.it is sewn in to the leather. those 3 bumps are the plastic deformed due to heat possibly warped from the sun magnified through the glass. the seam closer to the upright back of the seat. Right side in pic you posted. http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae334/duko111/IMG_20140628_145030_207.jpg Edited July 11, 2014 by importwarrior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukaine Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) So could j just remove that strip or what is a good way to fix it I wonder if I take it off and use something to pull the plastic taunt then heat it with a heat gun if that would work Edited July 11, 2014 by dukaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme Industries Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 that's the car I posted about, too bad it wasn't as nice as he claimed but it seems to be working out for you. I look forward to seeing the progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dukaine Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Ok finally back at it. Been the gather parts game. I would think i have all the parts then find I need something else only to have to order that and wait but now i think I have pretty much all i need. I got the motor mostly together and dropped in and bolted down. Now Its just getting it all hooked up and then hope it fires again without mishap. Here is a shot how she sits today http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae334/duko111/IMG_20140813_201457_294.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedyquest Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Yea having a non-leaky vehicle is always nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukaine Posted August 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Got the underneath pretty much done. Most of the electrical is hooked up alternator is in but i want to get a new belt before i actually tighten alternator down. Jetvalve elimination is done and valve cover is one. From here on it should go fairly fast. Going to need Speedy's help saturday though for sure if nothing else it takes 2 to bleed brakes. I hadnt bleed system since i put my master cylinder on it.Other things left other than motor that needs doing. I still need to paint hood Satin black and front rims need to be painted flat white to match the rears i had already done. Not totally sure if this will be final color or rims but I will be redoing paint on them this winter anyway since I will be replacing tires this year also.

dukaine Posted August 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Well its getting real close to being ready to fire. I am think i should be about to get it to the point of starting after i am done working at the yard tomarrow. I have most everything mounted now but I still got everything inbetween. Electrical is hooked up but still need to get the vaccum run plug wires few cooling lines and piping. Here is a pic of how it sits now. http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae334/duko111/IMG_20140815_205445_166.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukaine Posted August 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Fun....................I got the engine all hooked up minus the radiator and i still got some exhaust work to do but I tried to start it last night and it wont crank. What color is the plug that goes on the starter? I am questioning myself on hooking it up right. But first thing is first today I am going to start by checking fuses. I noticed my fogs arnt working either but i am not positive if they work anyway. But its getting there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukaine Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I had 1 wire hooked wrong is the reason it wouldnt turn over but it not firing. Speedy is suppose to come by tomarrow to help me figure it out. I can turn key and check engine at the same tire fire fuel etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukaine Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 speedyquest and moving it swung by today and we messed with some wiring and got the quest running tonight. So that is done now just to get everything buttoned up and ready for the MN cookout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukaine Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 My car is still apart but D vernable and speedyquest over this last weekend have been inspiring me. I really like the stance of d vernables car and I he was kind enough to fill me in on how he did his so I can do his suspension setup on mine. Then I was telling speedy I was getting a old Ram 50 with the 4g64 wideblock and he told me about what i can do with that engine using a 2.0 crank and a 4g63 DOHC head. I work in a junkyard after my main job part time and I have access to lots of kias and hyundias which both have DOHCs that will work possible so i have to look through to see whats there and maybe I can eventually put together something interesting for my quest. But thats one of them things i can assemble over time. But the brainstorming has begun. Dam the addiction lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukaine Posted December 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Update time. Car is still sitting with trans out yet and I just got in on the D2 group buyout, and I am buying new bushings for the car. Also will be getting new ball joints and tie rods for this(anyone guy any preference for brand type here?) and I am looking to buy the wind splitter from moto 360 to protect my new air dam for mine and that these look pretty sweet helped make that decision. I also ended up getting some quality paint for free. I was mixed wrong for my work. Suppose to be gold but turned out more of a copper so I am going to peel my tires and paint my shps this coppery gold. Its nascon so it should work pretty well.
