Thanks for the support guys! I had to rework some power steering lines after class today, had one that was rubbing the steering shaft. Didn't take any pics, was in a hurry to get it done and get home..
This morning I had the top 2 bolts on my fan shroud come loose and the shroud made contact with the fan

A couple days ago my brake booster decided to go south, so I got a new one put in now. The brakes are working awesome on that old tank 
Having an issue with the carb.. While downs shifting it wants to keep idling high like I've got my foot on the throttle, but if I tap it the idle will drop back to normal. It acts kind of like its sticking on cold idle. Not sure whats up with it yet, but I will check it out one of these days.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the support!
I think I am going to start body work this winter, assuming we aren't doing body work on dad's '55. It's a toss-up for the time being, but that is what I am shooting for right now.

No progress lately, thanks for stopping by and checking it out though!
I used it yesterday to haul our old washing machine off, and a newer one in. I'm having trouble with the new master cylinder leaking out of the front reservior, and cant figure out why.. Still need to do body work and paint, but I think that the next big step is probably going to be tires. The old bias ply MT baja claws really suck on the road, and aren't in very good shape.
