Got a huge score today from @wngrog !

24 lbs of freshly cadmium plated metric JIS hardware. Probably close to 2000 nuts, bolts, screws, studs, and various other pieces. Thanks man!

your welding skills are looking good man
 
Thanks, dude.
 
Placed a massive order at CCOT today. In addition to small things, like tie rod ends, light assemblies, and the like, I ordered new front fenders, and new rear quarter panels. BOOM.

Also got the last of the body bolts out today, only broke off 1, so not bad.

Once the new quarters get installed, it'll be time for media blasting.
 
Hope you mentioned being a member of CLC.????
 
We would love for you to thanks them for donating to our event. That goes a long way for vendors like CCOT. They always support us!
 
Awesome work man. Are you going to relocate the tach or just not have one? I tended to shift based on speed and sound so you really don't need one.

Thanks man.

Tach is going bye bye. 40s don't need them.
 
Don't have my old steering box. Sorry bro...
 
I might have a steering box. I'll check for that too.
 
More progress.

Thanks man!

It's a learning experience for sure. This is gonna eat up all my free time and extra cash.
 
No idea. But honestly, I'm getting work done a lot faster than I had originally planned. Maybe 6-8 months. Hell, I probably just jinxed myself. It'll take me 4 years like @ntsaint
 
You have been busy. Great work bud.
