[99 to Life]

3-14 Sorry for the one month hiatus. Been busy with 49hardtimes and family. Trying to buy a house so that's daunting. 49' should be heading out in a few weeks so that should be a big stress relief. I have two houses I'll be working on this year, tons of yard work, remodeling, garage work etc. But I do plan to really atleast have Geronimo drivable this year. If all works out, I'll be tearing my 51' apart, bagging it, redoing interior and engine bay. Then onto another full build eventually.

So nice to get back at it. I got the steering finalized. Doesn't look like much but it sure does take a lot of time to get all the linkages just right. If you haven't noticed, I moved the original steering hole over as well. I had to notch my engine mount a bit. I only needed one heim joint (fyi, these things can be very expensive if you don't shop around, I find these 3/4" ones on ebay for nine bucks plus shipping).

I then got brake booster mounted, again doesn't seem like much. It sure is a lot measuring. I pretty much will always put these right where you see this one. However since my steering is moved it is rather close to my pedal. So I'll have to cut the pedal and space it over just a tad. I had to make an adapter plate for this vette pedal to mount to my booster. This plate is so thick, took me forever to drill all the holes. Still not done yet. I need to order up a gas pedal so pedals are all done.

next on list is some more sheetmetal work and rebuilding the engine. then I'll get some more funds and with that I'll be getting the transmission, all the brake stuff, exhaust, trans controller, possibly AC unit, random paint supplies etc. Should keep me busy through summer.
