My New 1962 Overlander Project

[BarryIowa]

I lucked out and the wrap is there and polished. I just didn't show it in the photo. Can't wait to get it put on!!!

Very cool Barry, I'd love to see photos when you're done.

I like the look so I'll probably try to replicate it when I change out the old nameplates for the reproductions. Is that frame on both the fore and aft nameplates?

The back one on mine looks identical to the front one. I'll get it put on tonight and take a picture and post it.

Common, you are making it hard on me here... I have to string the rookie along little.

By the way Marcus, today is my one year anniversary as Anna's main man. I am no longer a rookie.

You can do better than that to make it hard on a rookie (rivet master rookie!). Read posts #5 thru #14 of this thread, now that's making it hard on the rookie!

1960 Overlander Whatzit?

Congratulations Frank!

And thanks Rick for going easy on me.

You see Barry, we may be part of the Club, but as long as we're Rookies we're still going to get hazed. It's like 7th-grade all over again!

God, I hated 7th grade but this is good clean fun!

Frank,
Can you tell me where I can get fender wrap? Did you also shave the rivets on the nameplates? My originals were not shaved.

[62overlander]

I saw it at pep boys. It was labeled fender wrap, and came on a roll. Now mine had the frame intact and I did not have to reproduce it. It looks like this for the factory plate...

Here are some things close.... the first is not flexible, but would work for the name plates....

Frank, How did you fasten the plates? Olympics? Shaved or unshaved? Screws?
Thanks!

[62overlander]

I installed the plates and frame with olympic rivets. I wish I could use my shaver on them, but they are too close to the frame. I am waiting for some reason to buy a dremel to grind them down.

Alright off to the store to buy a new tool, I have waited long enough.
