Well here she is in my new garage. This is where I intended to get the woodwork done and painted up before frost arrived and slowly peck away on the rest of the work before snowfall. This was "PLAN A".

Grfishmaker when you are ready to put the windshield in place are you going to use that metal piece for mounting the glass into, or can you build the glass into the frame, like Cam's & Oldsledz??
OT.
grfishmaker:
I'm going to use the metal frame rather than the original type instalation directly into the plywood. Unlike alot of the machines on this site, this machine is going to see alot of willows and tight going. That's why I didn't bother going the varnished type rebuild. I hope to give a few moose a ride over the next few years, so nothing fancy....just as long as it is realiable and doesn't leave me walking. I have all the glass cut, now all I need is a kick in the rear to get going at it again.
the old trucker:
All you got to do is turn around my friend...just turn around.. I'd be glad to help you any way I can. ha ha ha ;D :D :)
grfishmaker:
Well now, that is a very generous offer there OT, but I would hate to see you come to the mainland just for that, so I got going working on my machine last month. I will post pictures of my progess in the next few days.
the old trucker:
Grfishmaker how are you getting along with the new dash ?? Any plans yet ?? Those pics I sent do any good ? I'm kinda hung up on my progress. Waiting for new cables for throttle & trans. I'm figuring out if I should put 1/2" shims under the diff or cut a hole in the pan for more clearance. I blame the trouble on the new, thicker plate on the tunnel. I will check out that rad this weekend as I am going for another checkup on Saturday.
OT.
