Its been slow going lately, but I 've been trying to do a little at a time . I have been working on the interior. The A/C install has not been too hard . Just getting the dash ,and everthing back in place has been quite time consuming. pictures are of the progress on the interior and engine .
I have been waiting on parts to get here. But as most projects there is always something to do .I went to work on getting the AC compressor mounted today, Its a lot easier when you can stand next to the engine. It wasnt too bad . repainted the Valve covers,and got the exhaust manifolds on ...
Thanks for the help . PM sent, I found someone local that can make vinyl decals . I'll see how good they come out. I have to have something to cover the 30 holes in the dash where they mounted all the radio ,sirens and who know what all to the dash :grin:
thanks I have the warn locking decal, the black and white decal ,which i think was a dodge warranty decal was on the metal part of the dash next to the tower warning decal . I dont have a picture of it because it was in such bad shape. I will check on the seatbelt one.
Does anyone know if this decal is available ? also there was (I think ) a dodge warranty sticker on the dash all so. The warranty sticker was all but gone , but it was a white background,with black lettering. The fasten seat belt I have seen b4 in military vehicles.
