@Brownsxj glad to see that you're gonna keep at it. I need to get back on mine so I can actually wheel in 2021.

Started back up this week. A couple of weeks ago I was able to meet @Chris_Keziah and @Joe J. I got some motivation again.View attachment 333309View attachment 333310

Looking good happy to hear your aunt selling it. If you ever need a hand durham instant to far from me, be glad to help out.

Damn... this time you will have 4 more cylinders!!

First off, I would like to thank everyone who liked and gave us happy wishes for the little one.
Second, thank you for everyone who posted and kept the forum alive while I was in the hospital for four days running out of stuff to look at on my phone haha. Really!

So this week was long.. first kid...my wife has been a hero through this whole process. It has been great getting used to everything your baby does and doing everything I can to help out. We are finally getting settled and turning into diaper changing machines.

Cabin fever sucks.

Wife saw it and gave me a moment.

I cut down the front clip to make some preliminary skins.

 

[Brownsxj]

Had a welding day. Pulled the jack stands to see what could be an issue.

 

[Brownsxj]

New radiator came in tonight!

A week or so ago, I was able to roll it for the first time in 2.5 years. Had a chance to clean up the work space. Time was short but fun.

 

[untchabl]

Badass.

 

[Brownsxj]

Had a pretty busy day yesterday in the engine bay. Trying to map out how to get all of these parts in and make it relatively easy to work on.
Made a shroud and mounted the power steering cooler for the radiator. I milled down the orbital steering column to accept the samurai ujoint and it is keyed for the bolt. Added some headlight tubing. Mounted the power steering reservoir. Orbital mounted.

Next up on the list. Showed up today.
