took it for a ride!

Well, this was the weekend to check out the mechanics on my streed rod build. Had a little trouble with the trans fluid but I think the problem was the dipstick tube was too long.

BY the way, 2 hours later it was all apart again getting ready for frame cleaning

 

Is your avatar the "before" pic?

 

Man, I hope not.

 

I agree with you guys, hope not

 

Yep, that was it. Gotta change that, gets me in alot of trouble! It wasn't as good as it looks. All the wood was gone and needed more than you think. I already did 2 restorations so I wanted something more modern. Don't worry, nothing was hurt that can't be put back although I have no intention of doing that. Also this will be one smooth ride when done. I give it another year before completion. I've been at it for about 2.
