Great looking project!! Wish I had bought the trailor at the same time. Make sure your hitch it sufficient to pull trailor. I heard they were pretty weak, and needs a trailor hitch mounted below to frame. Then could use area for license plate. Let me know what you decide to do. Good job.

Alt 1 and alt 2 were not charging so I found the dash was not plugged in. After cleaning all of the contacts I got alt 1 to work but alt2 was still dead so I took it to my alt guy and found it had a bad regulater. Now it's time for the interior clean up. I painted the dash and right door panel black. I think it looks better than the orignal color. I still need to hit the junk yard to find the driver side windows,regulater and door panel.

It's Aervoe's flat black in a spray can. It figured it couldn't look any worse than it did so I just spray painted it. I'm kind of suprised on how good it came out. I bought another driver door today so I could steal all of the glass and regulater I'll get that done tomorrow.

Was a nice day out so I pulled the M1009 out for a wash and to start to put it back together. I got the door glass in the the dash board back together, I did the Doghead starter relay fixed all the dash lights and got the alt's both charging. I just found out the tailgate window regulater is stripped out so now the hunt for a new one begins.:x

I called a Chevy dealer by me and they can get them. He told me the part# is 15641780 for the manual regulator. I found them online at rockauto for $143.00 so thats where I got it from.

Did you have any fiberglass stringer issues and if so how did you deal with them?

Thanks

The sun had cooked the paint off on a few spots on the top down to the fiberglass. Ijust lightly sanded the top and shot the paint. It took a few coats but came out nice. Just got the new rear window regulator from rockauto. I was suprised it was a G.M. part and the right one.
