At least you have been able to get some work done, I've been cleaned up with the flu for the last week and haven't had much other time to do much of anything, although I managed to score some dragways. They need a clean up and rechrome, but that will come later on.
Keep up the progress and keep the photos coming.
Regards Jim

Wayne, I think the missing bits have gone to some FC fanatic.
Such is life. Keep things moving in small steps.

Seriously, John is happy to deliver to a workshop. Have engine stand ready.

engine is all finished with  the internal rebuild, now time to add all the bits on to it and get it ready for firing up



I picked this up on the bay and will replace the old chromed rusty one:



EH diff has been stripped and ready for a dipping and rebuild:



special thanks to Jim (wrangler) for cutting out this piece. We will seen this blend into the body shortly.
