The Black Pearl

[DisneysPatB]

Purchased hardware to redo my mirrors, as well as several other items from https://www.ebay.com/str/f100fasteners. Still waiting on order from Dennis Carpenter. New washer pump arrived and installed. Drivers side Octane light installed. Newly painted alternator bracket now holding alternator in engine bay. New battery purchased. Tapped new hole and re-threaded water jacket hole in intake for thermostat housing.
No new pictures ATM.

Package from DC just arrived. New circuit board, bezels for wipers, lights, cargo, and flashers.

I like boxes from DC. Lucked out at Carlisle Ford show and got a brand new Instrument Bezel for $65.

Have not really done much, BUT have been buying stuff left and right. Working on interior and quieting down the interior with new door glass, felt, seals etc. Decided I wanted power windows so have purchased a kit off EBay from an outfit in AZ. Purchased LED tail lights from Octane lighting. Got all new dash bezels. Ordered 4 used dog dish hubcaps, and will be grabbing some new Dorman rims 494-171 next week. Got new hood bumpers as well as EB plugs. Realized a couple weeks ago, forgot to reinstall fuel pump eccentric, so might just leave it off and install a 4# electric pump. Once I get the new rims, will probably go to tirerack.com for a set of 245s or 31s.

Complete front suspension bought today, new springs, bushings, tie rods drag link etc. Also got drums and new lug nuts for when I get the new rims. Ordered a new dash pad from https://www.dashtop.com/store.php.

New LED tail light boards installed, new bezels installed on all but fuel gauge selector. Dropped intake in place, and set carb and air cleaner in place. Looks nice all blue and shiny. LA summers suck for working on cars.

It feels like Christmas. Yesterday I received my power window kit. Today I received my new door glass and seals, as well as power door lock kit. Purchased new weather stripping as well as adhesive. Will see how much of this I can get installed this weekend, hoping it is cool enough to accomplish a lot.

That's just a dash COVER correct? Not an actual new dash PAD
I was unaware that anyone started repopping the dash other than the crap new "jackie chan" pad that LMC sold, (or was that even a cover and not an actual new dash pad)?

I loved DC stuff I bet the new bezels shine like diamonds!

[DisneysPatB]

Yeah Jeff, they are covers and not repopped pads. This is the same brand that NPD sells, but much cheaper. I went straight to the source.
The new bezels look so nice, but compared to some of the other items now I need to say STOP no more, other wise I will go crazy. I am not looking for show quality, just something that looks good to me.
One of my customers projects. https://www.facebook.com/cinemavehicles ... 8488602907. I want a custom grille like that.

Purchased new rotors. Need it to cool down so it is not a bear working on it. Ordered 5 white rims Ford E250 from work. Will see those when our stock order comes in next month.

Worked on the truck a little bit today. Cargo/Brake light conversion.

So as of today, an order for a Dash Topper ordered on 7/10/21 has not arrived. I called just now and they said it should be shipped next week.

Very disappointed, at this speed I could have gotten one from DC.
