Canada Dan hook me up! The Yokohamas are to big for the stock tire location on a 45.
Screwing with you yes, but I can assure you I asked them to take it easy on the shrink-wrap and use more paper... seriously

Good News.
@RocketCityCrzrs has the 2F finished. I’m heading up Wednesday to pick it up.
Bad news.
My pallet got weather delayed and I won’t have it until Tuesday. s*** like this really screws me up since I do one at a time. Not only is it a delay but it’s on the lift with no way to remove it with no 3rds.
I think I’ll bite the bullet and do the weatherstripping and doors. My least favorite job but it’s gotta be done.

It took me about 3 hours to do the first door and a bit under 2 to do the second one after getting some practice.
Next up. Top gaskets and weatherstrip
Found some match books in the defrost and a comb in the roof gasket lol
The remnant of the headliner is powder.

Got the center arm rebuilt. That was a little more fun than I was expecting but it’s tight as new now.
I had the rear axle bearings in the freezer so they tapped in nice and easy.
Gas can mount arrived and got installed.
Tracking has the pallet on truck for delivery but my dock closes at 5.
Tomorrow am at dawn I head to get the motor. Im staying at Rocket City HQ and will head back with the heart of this 45 Thursday
I’ll go get this pallet myself if nothing shakes loose while I’m gone.
Oh yeah I got the tie rods all pre adjusted and ready. Also added the Koito H4s to the grill as well as some new running light housings and bulbs but reused the nicely patina ‘ed white lenses.
