Couple new photos and doing a complete brake refurbishment this weekend. Took on a quick road trip and it ran very well. Just finished a completed a cooling system rework, radiator rework, new hoses , etc. full tune up. Have new seat cover coming and windshield and rear window rubber and a few other bit's coming next week and she should be road worthy for sure. Plus installing a replacement pass side exhaust manifold which a forum member sent out today.

I like how you're getting it ready. :-X22

Yea, she has been driving it everywhere the last couple of days.

Her new red tweed seat, we just finished it up. Double padding on the bottom, springs and frames repainted, couple of welds in great shape.

She no longer has to sit on bubble wrap and a towel.

Her new 3 point seat belts come in on Monday.

Bad pics, phone on the way out.

Nice rig. I like the upgraded tires too. Are you going to upgrade to disc brakes?

Just her around town and on property truck. We both work out of the house so don't put much miles an anything we drive.
