Woodys BII build-ish


So i was pulling my old CB cable out to put in a low profile end that my dad is going to grab from work(He is a truck driver)

and i saw that my oil presser gauge was leaking right where the tube goes into the end that screws into the back of the gauge...so i went to fix it and realized i had no more compression fittings. so now i got my whole dash ripped apart and cant drive it cause i don't want oil spraying all over my cab.

hey hahn do you have anymore of those small fitting laying around?

Thanks alot guys! i like the direction you went with the half doors.

i cut off my outer handle because i got the doors from hahn, and never got a key LOL!!!

lol i didnt have keys either so i weled yje lock rod up to keep it from locking, not that i couldnt just jump over the door lol
 
well frak earth!

I had to get a whole new oil presser gauge...i got the new fitting from hahn hooked it all up and well it still leaked... yay!

so went and purchased a new gauge today. tomorrow after work im going to baxters and getting a mount for it. i am going to steal hahns idea and mount in on my dash(thanks buddy)

but other then that nothing much done to the lady

but i have been driving my dads dodge to work...and A/C is AMAZING!
 
Well i need the opinion of TRS...i got my gauge and mount just need to know what position you like best...

ahh forgot about right there, i had a tach mounted there in my old 86 ranger

oh and you need to find a big hose clamp to get rid of the zip tie, might look a little better
 
ya haven't decided on how exactly to mount it there...was thinking a hose clamp but dunno
 
the hose clamp doesnt look bad but drilling the plastic and mounting it would be best
 
ya i thought about drilling it but i would have to pull that plastic piece off and see if i had enough room under to put a nut
