Build 6T5 LV Barn Rescue

[Pics45]

Some more LV progress. Spent some time this week mocking up some stuff. Installed and adjusted doors, 33" tires, mounted the 55 mirrors with m8 nut-serts. The rear is bit raked even with a leaf taking out. Going to adjust with different shackles front and rear. going to try and finish up some sanding and priming next week, maybe install the newly freshened up gas tank. Gave the the bumpers a coat of paint before install. Starting to look like an LV more and more.

Well, got the refurbished tank installed with a 40 sender unit. Redrilled/clocked to work with the original studs. The aftermarket tank straps work pretty well. Also got the factory battery box re-positioned. Today, I'm working on the radiator mock-up, (looking for a V8 fan shroud), the tank skid plate and rear tow hitch receiver.
