shadetree 5,869 Posted December 16, 2019 small update: spent a few hours lastnight out in the shop, doing some small detail work. installed the oil cooler on the frame ( have not hooked lines up ), installed lower front engine mounting bracket, installed header pipe with a fresh coat of bbq paint. then spent the rest of my time getting my little ele heater cleaned out, and back to working, got a little chilly in there !. some seals I had ordered the other day for front end might make it here today ?, not sure ?, they show to be in north little rock post office early this morning , no telling if they will make it here today or not ?. I hope ya'll aren't waiting on progress pics every day ?, this build will take me a few to get done !. its a slow process when you go through every nut and bolt, knocking off mud, dirt, rust, then have more right behind it too do the same too !..lol. If I can get my seals in today ?, at least I can get the front end all back together, that alone will be a big step for me !. I have it all ready, waiting on seals, just killing time going through the small parts here and there while I wait. I will try my best to keep ya'll up to date on progress pics if and when I can keep my hands clean enough ?, and remember to take them !..lol. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
