So, I haven’t had a day off in a while, like since tuesday. So I haven’t been able to do anything extra. I do however get a 4 day weekend starting on wednesday. So this “weekend” I’m planning on replacing the valve springs, reinstall the grill, and rework the exhaust to fit with the moved back front axle. Then to get started on the diesel rod again.
 
Got the inner springs back in, oil changed from break in, and everything back together today. Didn’t get any video of it running but she sounds beastly. Hoping tomorrow after I get the oil changed in my truck I can move some junk around and get her outside for the first time in over a year. Then Ill be able to get the 31 back in the shop to iron out her kinks.

I really like this build, I have the 28 sedan build thread, and I've been lookking on ebay at heaters. You can buy a small one for $50 to $100. I think I'll stick one in mine just to keep the windshield from fogging.
 
Got her out of the garage today. Thought 18 degrees and snowing would be a perfect chance to do a very short test drive. She’s a bit tighter on steering now that the front end has a bit more weight on it but I think a slightly longer pitman arm will fix that up. Stance wise, I think she is now perfect. A few small odds and ends to finish up but she runs great. Now to get moving on the 31 and ready for Vegas.
