A little more progress. Hi all. Well, picked up an aluminum top cover for my sm465. I was going to piece a new one together, but found a reconditioned one
in Texas. Not cheap! It was faily easy to install and seems to have a much shorter throw. The best part is that it moved the shifter back about 2.5 inches which puts it almost in the stock position after moving the engine forward.
I also got the core support mounted with new shroud and hoses. So, cooling system is done.
I also scuffed up the underneath of the floor in preparation for Line-X.
The cab will go to line-X and then straight to body shop for filler/paint. Next I'll move onto some heat shield around the clutch slave cylinder and then get everything setup for a test fire. I am happy about the body work finally getting done, but tentative as I have been here before.
