Gsmblue Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 Where did you find the cover? Looks nice! The company is called "Sparecover" https://www.sparecover.com I ordered through Amazon. The 32" cover is a snug fit on my 31x15x10.5 Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tire. cost was $65 delivered, not cheap but it is a nice quality item.

That one looks good, and you say it is a quality item, so is worth the $65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got some heavy duty sewing needles and thread from a fabric/hobby store and fixed the top part where the thread was coming loose. But it has seen better days. I'll have to get one sooner or later.

Gsmblue Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 I was thinking how much work do I still to do on the Espy... The answer is .... a boat load! Although I am trying to keep a list of priorities, I think my list is incomplete.. But to make myself feel better I have redone my "To-do" list to include what I have completed so as I complete stuff I can move it down the list and keep track of what I have done. So as best as I can tell the list looks like: Short term (1-4 weeks) Neutral safety switch Radiator (Sprectra Premium CU560) Vacuum hoses all need to be replaced so they are all blue 😎 Alternator cable needs to be replaced Ground strap from battery needs to be replaced Paint remaining interior trim (I have a whole new F150 grey interior from the JY) Prep rust on body work New seals for the removable top Medium term (4-6 weeks) Blue top steering box (out of stock!) Driver seat rebuild (needs a pro) Tachometer Shift indicator needs replacing Map lights Wire up KC daylighters Sound deadening transfer case shifter boot and trim Map pockets on doors Long term (who knows!) Paint body work Body mounts Anti roll bar bushings AC (missing some components) Dash pad replacement Rear bumper (JY one did not work out) Rear axle seals transfer case shifter boot Completed Installed Stainless steel braided Brake lines and flushed the system. Replaced brake booster Replaced rear brake slaves Center Console and glove box locks replaced Driver side power lock actuator replaced Windshield leak fixed Re-align steering wheel, 3 times… Custom plates New headliner Replace power window switches and bezels Replace power mirror switches Replace power lock switches and bezels New Alpine BT149 stereo New speakers (Infinity Refernce) and wires Painted dash needles Fixed idiot light films on dash Replace power steering return hose Replace headlights Replace side marker lenses and bulbs Replace rear light clusters and bulbs Remove all old extra lights and wiring Replace all 6 shocks with KYB Gas-A-Just Replace window wiper arms and blades Installed all new weather stripping Replace vacuum modulator for transmission Installed center console Replace battery terminal clamps Installed new Edelbrock valve covers with new gaskets Re-installed Edlebrock performer intake manifold with new gaskets Installed new Edlecbrock 1406 carb and a new air filter Installed HEI dizzy/ignition Installed new steering column top assembly Installed Borg intermediate steering shaft Installed factory grill New steering wheel Carburetor adjustment to lean idle Drilled out tire swing arm bolts. 2 were rusted in Paint/mount tire swing arm New wheels (Ford 10 hole 15x8) New tires (Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac 31x10.5x15) New rear brake shoes and springs (front were already brand new) Installed washer jets Replaced washer bottle/coolant overflow I am sure I am forgetting some stuff I have done and some stuff that I know needs to be done.. The new spare wheel should be delivered this weekend then I can get a new tire on that. It won't be long before the top has to go back on and that means I will need to get a bunch of stuff done ready for winter! Ok, so small progress update. 1. As you may have seen I have stripped and started painting the roof... Needs a lot more rattle cans! 2. I have painted up some interior panels - the rear ones, the ones above the shoulder where the seat belt top is and the bits that cover the roof bolts when the roof is on. My god I am tired today, describing things is hard. I guess a picture speaks a thousands words here: With a bit of luck the roof will be painted tonight and I can assemble tomorrow... Well, maybe a lot of luck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Man those look great! They certainly do look great! Well done. As for the fuse, it may not be a screw through a wire - you may have pinched a wire over a sharp piece of metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
