Kevin does excellent work! I have some of his art work hanging on the back of Samson. Do you have the hinge nut plates and are your latches new or used? You might consider having the letters painted on. The vinyl letters will deteriorate over time.

Latches are new. Not sure what you mean by hinge nut plates…I will need to look at some pics to see what you mean

Got cracking on Kermit. $OR send me the wrong headgasket!. Piston is ready. Wirewheeled and oiled head bolts and ready to go. Head cleaned/ prepped.Ordered the right one
Headgasket from Cruiser Corps.

On the backside of the rear valance panel, there will be 4 plates with threaded holes that the hinge bolts screw into.

I have OEM head gaskets in stock and it would have been right the first time
Along with the proper air-rail plugs.

@cruisermatt and I were texting back and fourth on a headgasket for Kermit when he casually asked for block and cylinder number. Both require domed pistons!!! Not flat pistons. PO terror! Truck ran fine and comps were 120ish. Wierd!!! Take 2 bent over at $SOR. Domed pistons incoming. Kuddos to @cruisermatt for the sleuthing. I ordered a OEM headgasket from him. Ones at Cruisercorps sucks and came in damaged. Got a refund.

Never trust PO! Now I need to go over other aspects with a fine comb. Its basic really when you think about looking into what pistons it should have. I never gave it a thought because I assumed the best. Leason learned.

Bought a 37 deg die kit for tube nut style tubing install. This fits on the tool i have for double inverted flared brake fittings

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

Last piece of the pressure bleeder is in. Time to do some brake bleeding on Brutus the 80.

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

You got that right @Broski! I am from the third world. Happy to have access to more than a rock and jandals in this country. I could be more creative with less. Hmmm, strike that. Hell no!
