Its good...its been all tucked away under the cover for awhile. Dam job keeps me to busy sometimes. Thank you, it was a nice surprise, I could care less about trophy's....i just want to hang out and have some cold ones with buddy's. I am really going to try to hit the Spokane goodguys next year, Puyallup is fun, but I've never been to that one. I may take a swing at the Portland roadster show this March if you over this way, Bigblock68 will have a booth (chevy metal truck parts) and I might put the turd in it. At least having a show then breaks up the long winter.

Got more gas and finished up the chassis shrink. I could have just as easily drilled and bolted the body mounts back on but why? I ain't never taking them back off so I just welded them home. I plug welded the old holes and it's a wrap. Well, kinda.... I'm amazed at how flexy the frame really is. I pick it with the floor jack in the front-center and the thing is like a wet noodle! I think I'm going to box it in and throw some diagonals in front, center and rear. I still have to make portals in the center member for exhaust and I THINK I've got the motor where I want it and need to finish landing the perches. I'll then strip and re-paint the whole deal with better stuff. Oh, clutch linkage... Ugh!
I may have to bring a long bed to Spokane to get shortened, nice work Brutha!!
