Graham build

[BillM]

Front brakes are all on now, and just started the plumbing for them....

Slowly making progress on the brake plumbing.....work, Christmas and snow is slowing me down now....hopefully I'll make some progress over the holidays. I can't wait to get the body back on top of the frame so I won't be taking up two spaces in the shop!

Well, I've been picking away it the Graham, in the midst of lots of other things. Brakes are all plumbed now, MC bled and ready to go. Front suspension is all aligned and bolted up. I want to do the rear end alignment before I install the motor or the body. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks.......lol.

Finally, getting moving on the Graham. I made the glass templates and had them all cut last week, and tonight I took the body up to the glass guy in town who is going to glue the 4 fixed windows in place. With any luck, the body is back on top of the frame this weekend!

Thanks Doc! I'm trying to keep up. Life has been pretty busy for us, but I'm plugging away. If it would stop raining I could ease up on the grass cutting.

My wife and I did make it over to Syracuse for the nationals a couple of weeks ago - that certainly helped the inspiration level.

Picked up the body from the glass man on Wednesday - had to dodge a hail storm that scared the **** out of me. I had a moment of thinking I'd have to have the windshield replaced in my car while I was there!

Anyway, windows are all in, installed the frame gasket and dropped the body on to the frame. Couple of little jobs to do before I can bolt it down, but it feels great to be bolting up for the last time.

Spent the day in the shop today, yahoo! Did some work on the dash, made up the insert out of a piece of copper I had left over.....drilled out a hole for the speedo and blinker lights as well. I think it turned out ok - I think I'll paint the dash, but leave the bezel and copper as it is. Thoughts?
