Well we finally have hit the final month before the Roundup. What a beautiful weekend we had here in East Texas. Got alot done this past week considering all the customer stuff I have had to get out. Anyhow, We got the brakes are plumbed in, blead, and working. The magic pedal linkage is working, The fuel lines are ran from the tank to the Fuel pump. I put off packing the bearing all weak and thankfully cause my pops is a proffesional bearing packer. He is the fastest packer to ever walk across the Dallas County line. Ha Ha. He rules. We got the starter on and had all the fireworks set up for the strart up but ran into some drive ussues and clearance. We are onto something as we did eventually get the motor to turn over with a different drive etc. And Finally at the close of business yesterday we had the body sitting back down on the frame hopefully for good till body work in a year. Heres some pics. Rusty Got me some new shoes too My son Ryder helping me run some brake lines

Wow , that is a perfect chassis. That is what I wish were under my coupe.. I also want to goto black wall tires. what steering box are you running (f-1?) is the wish bone split? are the steering arms dropped? did you end up moving the rear crossmember? I know too many ????? That is turning into a damn cool hotrod. Jeff
I was out putting some miles on the fiddie fo the other days and was in your area and wondered how close you were. I'd wish you good luck but hell as hard as you thrash...luck ain't gonna help you at all... See ya in Austin
