Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series

Dragsinger · 07-06-2015, 04:37 PM

Comfort and convenience when in the "command center"

Out with old fashion crank up windows ! In with new Delco motor/regulator assemblies. Parts from an S - 10 Blazer are a direct bolt in.

Finding door switches and wiring harness would require scouting the U Pull It's but I have no desire to spend time doing that.

Instead, source two DPDT momentary switches on - off - on from local store for $9.00 each. Then build a custom harness and switch mount. Total time for wiring and switches about two hours. I would still be at the U Pull it.

Glenn,

no a/c but the power windows do help.

I never roll down the windows in the Mustang for fear of them never going back up lol.

With a project like the Super 10 a number of things are vital. One on the most vital pieces of the project is good help.

Because of good help the Super 10 has progressed from a S - 10 "core" to an almost read to race package in about 10 months.

My friend Monte is one of the vital help links. His fabrication skills and ideas and accuracy and experience are priceless.

Tonight we finalized the bed cover. Just a few details and it is finished. It will have a Dzus button on each rear corner and a captured prop rod when finished.

Just now I am concentrating on items necessary to race at the Texas Motorplex July 25th.

The longer range schedule is D 4 Lucas race in September at Thunder Road.

I'm not laughing, Rich. I had this happen on the rear quarter windows of my 68 coupe and had to replace the entire mechanism. Talk about a PIA to get to. And no "Bolt on electric windows from a junk yard Blazer" for me, either.../whine/...

I recommend the "internal hex" Dzus buttons. Try them, you'll like them. Easy to snap locked and much less chance of the tool slipping and gouging the paint.
