Well, it now rolls....so I'm calling this post "the end of Chapter 2"
I put the wheels on for now so I can move it around the garage a bit better and I think it looks pretty good. I have no idea how the clearances will be yet in the fenders but that is a surprise I guess for later on!
I did figure out why the cross link was rubbing in the front (needed to be tightened up to spec) and now I have a list for the next two months (if time allows):
- get order in for parts for next steps, especially motor gaskets and sensors
- get motor cleaned up and painted
- decide on brakes
- order brake parts (if needed)
- get brake lines routed
- get gas tanks painted & installed
- decided on lines, valves, etc etc and order if needed
- decide on radiator and fan set up, order parts if needed
- receive engine parts, reassemble and drop it in with tranny
- adjust tranny cross member
- figure out rear diff and drive shaft
- Then, it will be time to move on to body work......
