Been waiting 15 years to build on it... hopefully next year.
Jealous!!
It’s been hard waiting so long.
Wish it were closer to home... but it’ll be more than 400 acres to explore

so , .............................................
i was having some driavbility problems , hesitation on acceleration , on hills up down
after like 20+ hours of diagnostic time i traced to a fuel starvation issue , either sucking air or the pickup tube is clogged ?
i gave some deeeeep thought and came up with this remedy :
- i used 1/8 thick solid brass plate
- 5/16 copper nickle allow tubing ,
- #56 100% troy weight silver Brazed the two together
- i held the tube 1/2 " off up the bottom of the tank floor sump
- started up after a new OEM fuel, filter 23100-38010
- also installer 6 new 4mm screws & a new OEM flange gasket
the truck runs and drives normally now , only down side is Not having a fuel guage ,
this is a temporary repair till i can source a good used tank for a 1/79
Done that bf on an old isuzu truck I have. Ended-up being the heat valve on the air cleaner intake not closing and freezing-up the carb. Would drive me crazy in the winter. Run along the interstate to work. Fall on it's face pull-over the 5 minutes and the engine heat would thaw the ice and I could go another 15 miles. Service shop finally found it after a year.
I Restored a 1979 Headlight switch tonight , including the install of a LED bulb to the Back Lit Knob , What a Difference !
this included Polishing down the Polycarbonate Knob face

Took stuff apart to then put the same back in...but done right and hopefully leak free.
Rebuilt a spare sm465 adding new input and main shaft. Output drilled and tapped. Orion torn down getting new seals / gaskets. Curse the shade tree that uses ****ing silicon on everything.

Installed tach, water temp, and oil pressure gauges today. All my stock gauges still work except the oil pressure gauge, I plan on getting it back online soon.
On your merry way to “A River Runs Through It” no doubt
Made new leaf hangers for my leaf reversal.

What a great color.
Sure would like to be in the passenger seat of your 40 with my Orvis heading to one of your secret trout streams.
Darn, Virginia is a long ways away.
‘Magic Wrap’ from Home Depot has lasted 22 years under my hood. It isn’t sticky and bonds to itself.
Made more parts black before heading to the lake for the weekend
