Progress stuff. . .





Been real slow, managed to get some of the drive train in but thats it. Still waiting on freakin' pistons. . .first set was ordered July 18th, came in damaged 3 weeks later, replacement set is back ordered till Sept 9th Went to do the drive shaft, slip joint is wobbly after cleaning all the old grease out, and the slip yoke u-joint bores are lose. . .the caps can be slipped in by hand So, need a new rear drive shaft, fronts in the same shpe. . .kinda getting over this building lol, I just want to drive the stupid thing!

Other than that, I haven't had a whole lot to say. . .
