    I actually made some decent progress on my 40 delivery over the holidays, and have a little more planned for tuesday. I got the brake pedal assy mounted and adjusted, gas pedal mounted, heater mounted, steeing column and shafts all routed and mounted. Shifter mounted and adjusted. drive shaft built and installed, floor pans finished up. I also installed the hidden fuel door, but in that process I discovered some previous and poorly repaired damage, which is gonna set me back by a day at least. Tuesday I plan to fix the poorly filled stock fuel hole and door edge rust that was really hacked up! Then finish fitting up the rear floor wood and start repairs and fitting of the rear door. I really hope to be driving it by early to mid summer, but I keep getting distracted!!!!

    The delivery is looking good. Distractions are always in place but when you make progress you can be proud and move ahead. I am working on a delivery also and have the chassis finished and powder coated. I will start the body next week. Here is a photo of my neighbors which should keep you and I motivated.
