Just like every one else, I had a messy firebox to address As fun as using the orbital wire brush sounded, I figured I'd try the pressure washer It's hard to tell in the pictures, but it did accomplish my goal of getting 20 years of old food off the sides A few coats of high heat paint on...

Worked a little on the emblem. I tried a slightly different method than the sanding one I have seen on the forum. Forgot to take a good "before" picture. Sprayed the whole emblem with hi-heat barbecue paint Immediately after I took a rag and some lacquer thinner to the raised portions No...

Thanks for the kind words Tim! I'm not sure I know what I'm doing, but this forum definitely helps

A small update on the warning decals. When I sprayed clear over the gloss decals, it made them appear more yellow than I would prefer. I tried it again on a set of matte, labels and it worked out much better. I'd still recommend printing them yourself, but if anyone doesn't have the means and...

Thanks Rich! That sounds like my storage shed, which I'll not be posting pictures of :)

Thanks LMichaels! I've been slowly upgrading my garage over the past few years. I did the floor with the Valspar Epoxy product they sell at Lowes. No complaints from me!

Giant Granger stainless axle tube arrived today The assembly begins!

Here is a template I made off photos and the instruction manual. I'm going to try it out of aluminum.

Or easily torn off when you're removing your stock igniter and screwing down a piece of Diamond Plate :)

Thanks Bruce! IF i get adventurous I might try to re-create one, but good to know it doesn't do much.

I found out I'm missing another piece, the "front panel". Can anyone tell me if this piece is metal or plastic?

When I went to remove my broken bolt, the whole "gusset?" came out with it, and was pretty rusty. My dad has a welder so he tacked in a new tab that we then tapped. This one wont be rusting out any time soon.

Thanks guys! Really just glad to help out as this forum has helped me with my restoration.

How important is the "manifold bracket"? Mine is missing, my guess is it was never installed by the first owner. Looks like they are cheap and available, just curious.

Thanks! Haha, I guess it's "offroad use only"

No Problem! I'm glad I could contribute something. I know posting Amazon links can be tricky as stuff goes obsolete so quick, but I've had good luck with this vinyl sticker paper: https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B07D7K96JJ/tvwb-20 I most recently used it to make a new license plate for...

Looks amazing! I think you should charge $400 just for the clean fire box :)

This relates to the Tank Scale Decal. Here is a scan of my unused decal. As you can see, Jon was correct, the ink is more gray than white. If you would like to print out your own follow these steps: I've laid it out as 6 decals per sheet. You should be able to print them out on an 8.5 x 11...

Okay I'm going to break these into 2 posts so they are easier to find. This one will be an amendment to the Tank Scale Danger decal. I've laid it out as 6 decals per sheet. You should be able to print them out on an 8.5 x 11 sticker sheet. Set your printer to no scaling and borderless printing ...

Haha, yes sorry. Been searching for old car parts too long...
