There should be more pics soon, they are in a different computer. I spent several weeks, more like a month converting the BJ40 24 volt stuff over to...
So there has been some progree in the past few months. Nothing happened all summer long as I was busy with vacation and family. All the hinges and small body pieces have been painted. Body is permanently mounted on the frame.
I just received $800 worth of OEM parts from Doug @ Rusty Wallace...
Thanks on the compliments.....

Not up to the driveshafts yet as I converted from 24 volt to 12 volt...

Ihate rust...so to be sure there was none lurking under my body panels I decided to split all panels possible.
This included both front doors, rear swing out...
