Yes let us and Copper State Cruisers know, would love to come down and see your shop. I also have some work for you as well. Thanks.We're planning a grand opening for after monsoons kick off.
It'll be nice to get the dust knocked down a bit and to let the grass come back from where we've been operating equipment.

We're getting very close to breaking in the motor in the '69...oh woe is me

Awesome to see the images. Wish I had had a tranny jack like that. First time I put my 3-speed tranny in I partly laid over the passenger seat and held it there and wiggled in it. Just about crushed my ribs doing it. Then I bought a junker tranny jack from Harbor Freight. It worked well enough for the cost.

The valves are adjusted and it is almost time for some field testing

The '69 got a new bumper just in time for field testing.
The indicators were acting wonky and it turned out to be a broken wire to to the hazard fuse holder. All better now.
Field testing continues

The fresh motor is broken in and field testing is complete...
Time for the '69 to move to a new home, where it should continue to provide yeoman's service for another 50 years.
It will be featured on Bring-a-Trailer soon, please feel free to contact us with questions.

GLWS. It really came out nice!
I've been watching this thread because you are doing pretty much what I need to do. Everything is mostly there, just needs a refresh.
In one of the pics on BAT, it looks like you got some sort of kit to replace all the coolant hoses? Or did you need to source those individually? What kind of shocks are those?

Thanks! We sourced them individually, the shocks are OE.
