You gotta roll it out and take some pictures. I'm starting to forget what it looks like from a distance. All these close up shots

None of the body is on the frame right now, I will get there though...
Just have a ton of metalwork to do before the body and chassis are re-united. Need to run brake lines too before that happens...

That would be a short trip with no drive shaft, no brakes and no steering [cl[cl[cl

You sound like Scottie talking to Captain Kirk. Just read you post with a thick Scottish accent, you will see what I mean.
She's no going to hold together Captain! No Driveshaft, no brakes and no steering

Yea, I dunno either [S One of these days I'll get by the parts store for some fluids...
Tonight I routed the tank wiring through the port in the flange on the tank so that is done, and also separated the driveshaft yoke, cleaned it up and painted the non-sealing areas so it can be put in the tail shaft when I add the trans fluid... I'd like the fluid to stay IN the trans [cl
I also tested the resistance on the fuel pump in the tank, and so far it looks much better than the pump I was testing outside the tank. Pump in tank is 12.5 ohms, failed pump was like 1.2 Ohms, so hopefully the pump in the tank is good.
Just a few more small things to do...
