This what your looking for?

This thing should be on the road by now, right Randy?

 

[82cruiser]

Yes it should Lane! Nearly there now. Finally got the clutch issue figured out with help from JR. Seems as though the clutch surface rusted to the flywheel which is why is would not disengage. It now moves under its own power which is a glorious thing. Working on reinstalling the exhaust, figuring out the wiring for the back end, fabbing up a throttle cable bracket for the v8, and installing the lights.

Back to your point - I hope to around the block next week.

[fogblanket]

that is looking very sweet. going to be a great museum piece!! need more pics.

 

[82cruiser]

Thanks gents! Museum piece...maybe at 50 mph. Will be a DD.

Your troopy looks great.

Seeing that you were able to make the SOR windows work is a great sigh of relief. Just spent $1500 plus on 2 pairs of new windows shipped to Australia without realizing the windows are a different size!

I'll sleep better tonight now.

It is a relief knowing that SOR's windows can fit. Grinding the window openings is easy, just take your time and test fit as you go so you don't make the opening too large. It took less than an hour to grind all 4 openings. Good luck!

Done with the bib.

Aren't you married?

 

[Bear]

Not necessarily.

Thanks crushers, SOOT, and Boston.



Aren't you married?

Making out with girls with braces doesn't "count."
I believe you get a free pass on this.

Same as the proverbial staring at the girls with the big hooters.
It's the excessive drooling, neck-twisting, and panting-- while in the presence of the wife/girlfriend--that seems to bring on the grief.

It's all in the "handbook," so I've been told--I just was late getting to the festivities and forgot to pick up my copy. Anybody out there have a spare copy?

Mirrors

I have been following your build for a while now and just noticed your side mirrors.

They look a lot more stout than the plastic crap I just bought. Can you tell me where you got them?

Make a copy for me if you find one.


Great work, I enjoy seeing the updates.
