Default Made progress this weekend
I would have made more progress but I was alone and did 95% of the work myself plus there were some gremlins that took one of my u joint caps that took me 40 minutes to find.

not exactly "correct" but I think it looks nice.




Next up install the leaf spring and install these:



I hope to roll it out of the garage by next weekend and see it in the sun with everything done but brake and fuel lines...we will see..Jim

Coming right along. Why hurry anyway?, its more enjoyable at a slow but steady pace.
I too spend half my time looking for things I just set down. Usually find it near the beer fridge!
Keep up the good work and enjoy it.

I kind of like the contrast of colors in the rear. Different but I like it. Nice work, it feels like just yesterday I was in your shoes.
