Paint has finally dried on the drivers side. Suspension has gone in to. Driver side ball joints have been replaced, and new grease will be put into the cv's. Final grinding has been done on the drive shafts and now clamped and ready for welding. After that they will be cleaned and fitted. We will hopefully start on the bulk head tomorrow, filling in the holes. Then the coat of underseal can finally go on.

..and then the day after that you're starting on Vern.

Only joshing. Do you guys ever have a day off? Keep up the ace work

[Pandora]

Of course we do. This is what we do on our day off

Ed has welded up the drive shafts, and they were painted last night. Today ed will have finished the hole in the bulk head, and i will have coated it with underseal. I'll be spending most the day with a wire brush cleaning up the engine. Then today will should have the engine in position for the last time.

Bulkhead has been welded, and first coat of underseal has gone on.
Engine still needs some cleaning, but its getting better.
Tomorrow there will be more cleaning of the engine until its good enough to go back in the frame, then the hubs and suspension will go back on.
