Did some cleaning last weekend. I prepped the gas tank and the pedal box by cleaning and then painting them. The pics I added are for that. I also trimmed part of the pedal box where one of the bolts will pass through the front footbox wall. Finally got the bushing replaced on the front control arm so I was able to install the arm. I still can’t get the tie-rods to loosen up. I’m not sure if I’m trying to turn the wrong thing but I don’t think I am. Next up, more little things. Fiddling with the pedal box and pedals. Mounting the gas tank. Messing with some footbox aluminum. A local shop is running a sale on wheels so I’m struggling with the idea of getting new ones. Every time I walk through the garage I see that engine sitting there and I cringe thinking about what a bitch it’s going to be to clean it. But also how sweet it will look when I’m done! Soon enough…soon enough.
Travis Grabb donated his non-tilt steering column to the cause. Thanks! Sure does beat digging through a junkyard for one!
