Re: Texas 1969 KL60
Quick update, Got back most all my stuff from Powder Coat, Paint and Plating finally. So I got to work putting as much stuff back on as possible. I had all the hardware and a lot of misc stuff Plated in Zinc with Black Chromate. It looks awesome next to the Tan color of the body! I had all the door handles and a few other bits Powder Coated Satin Black and then had the Instrument panel and the Glove Box painted Satin Black as well as a few other little bits. So if you are keeping up the theme is Tan with Satin Black accents. Here are a few pics.
Notice the Texas Safety Shoes 
These are the original headlights that I just stuck in there to see how it all was going to look. I have the HID conversion to put in there for real later.

Re: Texas 1969 KL60
That was a great idea. It's going to look very sharp.
Beyond any hope for intervention

Re: Texas 1969 KL60
Is there a grommet of some sort that goes in the firewall hole where the accelerator linkage goes through?

Hmm... I 'll have to look around for that. Don't recall seeing anything like that in my parts stash. Anyone have a Pic?RiverPatrol wrote:Yes. It's a somewhat thick grommet.

Re: Texas 1969 KL60
Does anyone have a pic of the Battery Access Cover for a 69? I got a replacement one from a 67 but it is missing a tab I believe and I need to figure out how it actually fits on there.

If it would help, I could ask Zed to mail to you my cover that he's borrowed for a pattern.
He thinks his fab guy will be done in few weeks.

Re: Texas 1969 KL60
No big deal, I think I can work with the pictures he sent me via text and he said he would take a couple measurements for me so I think we got it covered.Flaggoni wrote:If it would help, I could ask Zed to mail to you my cover that he's borrowed for a pattern.
