Great job Pete!
Although far from finished, I’m heading to North Carolina tomorrow, with the 55. Although I’m pretty confident it could be driven it up, it’ll be going on the trailer. (Pulled pork) It has only been driven to the muffler shop thus far. I don’t want to risk having a lousy long weekend with any mechanical issues that might occur.
This massive project wouldn’t be possible without help from a great group of guys:
Al @lowtideride
Bernie @bcmotor
Frank
Gunnar
Pete
Roy
Bob @bobm
I’m very “Greatful” how it is turning out and am looking forward to finally getting some seat time.

Hey, don't forget about all of us in the peanut gallery making irrelevant comments keeping it real. How about letting us decide what color you should paint it. 
Have fun and don't break it.

have you got any details on this radiator and what it took to stick it in? Thanks!
It was in there when I got it. I believe it just a standard alum radiator you’d get at Summit racing.
Wow, she looks great! Nice job Deo!

Since my Pig was from Santa Fe, I went with this frame. She was originally from Sauder Toyota, which became Beaver Toyota:

Forgot to add install right cargo glass to the “to do” list.
Stretched a 60 cargo window gasket around the 55 rear cargo window. A lil dum dum in the corners and it’s good to go. Eventually I’ll replace all the gaskets with the Slo Cruiser kit when it gets painted, but this will do for now.
That looks good. Right now Slo Cruiser can't get the rear cargo gaskets. I like the rear 60 ones do they hold and seal? Also I ordered the rear chevy solid back glass to do mine when I get ready. You have to make two cuts and glue it but it works they say.
