Well the fuel line and the brake lines are all plumbed. The E brake cables and brackets are done. The paint is almost all stripped. I blasted the door edges, hood louvers, hinges, dash,all garnish moldings and cowl vent the last couple of days. If it is not raining in the morning, I will push the body on the dolly outside and blast the door jambs and around the window moldings. If it is raining, I will pull the engine the trans and drive shaft and get ready to blast the frame.
I got the exhaust installed Thursday at West End Welding in Mound. Clark Babler did a great job again. We used Porters of course. It looks real good, all tucked up and around the cross members.
Some of the Saturday breakfast guys came by and helped lift the body of of the chassis. Thanks guys !
The 5 speed is at the local trans shop getting the worn and messed up parts replaced. Its due back real soon. Should be back just in time to put it back into the painted chassis. I hope to have chassis all back together painted and detailed by the end of May. I leave the 30th for the "Topless Tour 2012" and won't be back for any length of time until the first of August.
