Surfdog’s 71 240

SurfDog · 05-13-2021, 10:33 AM

Headers downpipes and manifolds cleaned up and ready for ceramic coating.

I apologize for the big pix. I post most of this stuff from my phone running around in the world and the app I use does a poor job of letting me pic my picture resolution. Thanks for your patience with the goofy image sizes.

bumper and splitter test fit

The plan and some progress

SurfDog · 05-17-2021, 08:08 PM

Cool upgraded cam oiler installed

It has grub screws on the tube ends so you can clean it out if needed.

SurfDog · 05-17-2021, 08:50 PM

Steering wheel rehab completed.

It looks super nice in person!!!

SurfDog · 05-18-2021, 12:53 PM

Boom! Damn. I love it.

Edit. We are going to put little “angle spacers” behind the gauge faces to kick them up a bit toward the driver.

JARblue · 05-18-2021, 12:58 PM

Such small photos tho

Love the updates! Keep em coming

SurfDog · 05-18-2021, 01:14 PM

Dash shots

2 in many more to go.

SurfDog · 05-23-2021, 08:58 AM

The whole dash will be installed with rivnuts and button head hex screws so as to be removable (for follow on mods or just maintenance). Also that’s just cool and fun I think. Maybe cam locks.

SurfDog · 05-24-2021, 12:52 PM

Off to ceramic coating

1800 degree dark silver on the exhaust and intake manifolds and the long exhaust tube.

1800 degree black ceramic on the heat shield. (It might get some additional “gold foil” stuff on it if my carbs and intake manifold get too much heat soak coming off the exhaust manifold)

That’s a thing for another day.

Anyhow here’s a “before pic”. The shop is busy so…. Two weeks?

SurfDog · 05-24-2021, 03:46 PM

Glovebox fab

Look at those welds!! Good job Russ

SurfDog · 06-04-2021, 12:56 PM

Dash fab (gauge cluster and glove box) continues

The gauge trio sits too high for my eye. We’re going to mill it down a bit more flush.

SurfDog · 06-04-2021, 01:00 PM

For reference here is a “stockish “ look
