john's 74 s&h clone build thread

  yeah, stop by anytime!

I have engine envy..

just picked this up on ebay for $13!!! (i know the original was white, but it should look good with my interior) it's fairly period correct, and got a correct mic on the way

Awesome find! I agree on painting it.

ok, you talked me into it, i'll paint it! joe where's the rest of the radio??? (the bigass amplifier looking thing that goes in the trunk)

huh a what???

how are you going to do the radio calls?

got the mic today  spent about an hour cleaning the 30 year old masking tape glue off of it WTF?
 and got it mounted with a mic hanger (spent several minutes looking for one and i have several of them, scattered all over hell's half acre )

 

update: went to a show a week ago saturday (didn't win anything ) but the car ran great 300 miles away getting only 16 MPG (but a lot of hills on the route) but about a hour from home i hit some major rain...found out my windshield leaks but this is a good excuse to remove the windshield trim as it is got scratches  all over it, and replace it with a better piece

 today i finally got my butt around to ordering a new door tag sticker from marti (acid bath removed the original )

Here ya go..........

I saw you post on cowl repair in another thread.

Needless to say, not a good day for my work as I spent at least 4 hours viewing this thread in it's entirety.

Went start to finish, all 93 pages.

Really nice job.

Talent, skills, patience, determination and a pile of sweat.

Very well done!
