ain't much but we made more progress...........

i got most of the day yesterday to myself , and managed to put all the brackets and mounts and the v8 xmember in for mock up too make sure it was all like it should be.... had to drill out the mounting holes as i couldn't for the life of me around here find any shoulder bolts or bolts in general that fit the holes where the rivets once resided so we went the next size up , 7/16 . even sat the greasy ol' love of my automotive life up there just for the heck of it and too again make sure everything lined up . hopefully this coming weekend we'll get all the rest of the pedal assembly etc. found , and mock it up then take it all apart to clean and wire brush the parts and the frame and maybe paint it . so far to go yet , but once it's rolling it goes together so easy from the simplicity of it's design or i've just spent way too much d#mn@d time under one of them ...................Attachment 32124
