I took the front end of my LC off, and the battery tray was taken out to replace the front main seal and oil pump gasket where the oil leak culprit was. And distributor seal replaced another leak area. I flushed the motor because someone mixed red and green. Degreased all the greasy areas. Tomorrow I am putting everything back together then flush everything again and fill the girl up with coolant and she should be good to go. And new hoses for the radiator. Going to replace as many hoses in the engine as I can.
To take the balance wheel off. I didn't bump to take off. I put a 14mm bolt in the area where that rubber flap is. Then I used my hi-lift pole as a cheater bar to break the bolt of the balanced wheel.

This looks great! Is it hard wired for charging?
 
I re-assembled the interior after I had it a part to have the roof welded up. I also installed a engine oil pan heaters.
 
Reprinted the old grill. I had a local paint supply store make up the exact color in a spray can. $15.00 upgrade.

"Installed" a Cobra WX75ST CB with Wilson Lil' Will antenna. Still need to get it SWR'ed, couldn't get anyone to answer back on multiple radio checks. But the fools out here in Vegas on the CB are running like 5000 watts out of the base stations and they just sit there and try to "squash" each other all day. :eek:
