    It has been awhile since I have posted an update on my panel and I have made a lot of progress lately.
    I started out with a lot of the work already done (all metal work roughed in, frame and drive train complete) and have removed the the Chevy motor and trans and replaced it with a Mopar 318 and 907 trans.
    I drove it to Louisville Ky. a couple weeks ago and had no trouble so it looks like the mechanics and complete.
    I have started on the interior and it is about 70% complete. Body work is about 80% finished with maybe a couple more blockings to go.
    I am making it into an old Harley service truck so it will be orange over black with Harley service emblems on it. I have installed a wall behind the rear seat and will be stocking the rear shelves with older Harley parts as I find them.
    I hope to have it complete next spring.
    Well there you go. I had a little time this afternoon so I though that I would update the progress.
    All comments are welcomed. Even the WTF ones.
    Here's some pics of the progress.
