She's come a long way in a few weeks!

This past weekend... I finally finished my scout power steering install. Just a few clean up things and the fender can go back on..

Curious what you did for a bracket on the sag pump?? I am 90% done with my steering swap and that is the last item I need (Well along with the pump) for my F2 motor. NIce going on your rig!

I bought the bracket from jt outfitters. It is decent but I had to modify the holes as it didn't line up with the pulley quite right.. check out my build post in the signature for more pictures.

Georg at a Valley Hybreds has the best Sag pump bracket IMO.

 

[Biscuit]

Filled the steering box with oil. I don't want to know how long it has been mostly dry.

Had a buddy who knows way more than I do come over and give things a look over. Fixed an ignition problem, replaced the old thermostat. Have to replace the temperature sending unit.

Filled two more holes in my dash with a home made grab bar. Made out of half inch pipe. Bent two 90s and made the length work with my spacing. Clears the glove box and is backed by 1/8 steel plate behind dash. I never realized how nice these are until I took a ride as passenger in my 40 and did not have a steering wheel to hang on to.

Picked up 44 yesterday and drove around Vegas on the way home.... Her new heart (fully rebuilt 2F, including head/valves) is beating strong and her new exhaust purrs like a mountain lion. Her new clutch is a joy to use!

Now, if only it would cool down enough to drive her ... 108 is too simply hot to enjoy a ride in a moving oven... I sweated out a few pounds of fluids, just driving home.

Here's a couple of pictures... Just to prove the engine is back in...

There will be pictures... But, I had to take 44 back to have a coolant leak fixed... Maybe by the time I get her back summer will be over...

x2

But are they furry or hairy? That is the big question (and a very technical one at that)...

@lostmarbles & @fj401978

They are VERY hairy!!

Skip's just being nice.

Finally got some tunes again! Friend had an old Kenwood deck from the late 90's. Some $40 6x9's, speaker boxes I got for free from a garage sale and I'm jamming.

Danny, I don't know about your Goldens, but Beretta (Chocolate Lab) sheds like she doesn't want hair! If your two boys shed like she does, you've got your hands full!!

Skip,

I'm SURE my long haired Golden Retrievers shed more than your short haired Chocolate Lab... We make and market allergenic mattresses and pillows

I figured they did! Man, when she rolls over for me to pet her, I scratch and rub her belly and 'scruff' her neck and such...when she gets up, I would swear there must be no hair left on the dog...my goodness!!

What you mean 'we'...as in you and your wife?

That was a joke Skip... But we could... Yes, Dianna, me'n'daBoise.

 

[OutbackBob]

Bolted on and installed TEQ winch, now working ...
Replaced both rear quarter panels with patches and installed new rear sill.

Hello, all!

Well I'm glad to say I've done a little work on the cruiser today and I had help from my friend Jack, so if you see any problems its his fault.

Final product.

And finally, here is my material (less than $14) and tools I used. You might say that is a tooth pick and I"d say you are right, but it also makes a handy paint brush for small places. Note, the $14 does not include Jacks help! HaHa!!

I did not know what colors to get. So I just picked colors that matched as close as possible.
It took me about 2 hrs to do this project.
