It is Chuck. Sold the rims and tires to a person looking for rims on Craigslist. Come to find out it was a former student who is doing a stock restoration on a 76 40. So the smaller tires and rims was what he was looking for. I had the 6 spokes and 31's in the back. RPM' s much better now.

All the structural welding is complete. Door is back on. I think the door window gap looks pretty good. Cleaned up the window frame and dash, gave it a coat of paint and windshield goes in tomorrow. Other than bolting the fender on I am finished with this one. It is soon to be shipped off to Japan. I was suprised to see how much leading is in the lower corner.
Now that’s interesting, pre-sold or??

Yes. I posted it on a couple of Facebook forums. Sold it to 2 guys who are co-buying it. One of the buyers has a Hot Rod shop in Kofu Japan. I have a $500 deposit in hand. I think he is going to buy a few things- ship them to my house and then ship it all together in the 55. Shipping isn't horrible. About $1200.
Doesn't it cost more than that to ship across the US?

He has done this before and told me that was the cost. I also got a quote from a company to ship it from Long Beach to Yokohama and it was about the same cost surprisingly.
I'm amazed, learned something new.
