Gonna work on a pair of "tabs" for the back hood latches in a bit. It's 40F here this morning, which is great weather but that first drop of the season sure feels chilly!
I was planning to try to get my mid-point support for the steering shaft located, but a UPS sorting blunder got me. It left Ohio, arrived 10/1 for sorting and loading on the truck for local delivery, and on 10/2 arrived in Florida! Oops, a sorting error mis-directed your package and will cost at least one business day, so sorry. New delivery date, 10/8Whatta' ya' gonna do? It is what it is, and Summit told me originally that the double is not stocked, but gets drop shipped by the OEM, and might not arrive until 10/8! They were right!!
Side note, I sure am glad that the PO decided to prime and finish paint this chassis before he had any of the build details thought throughOn a good note, I don't have to worry with surface rust, but it'll be getting re-sprayed one of these days.... Moved the tranny mount, moved radiator supports down, tabs for hood latches, spacers for spreader bar fit, steering mid-support, exhaust hangers, and on, and on, and on. Kinda reinforces the "Plan the Work, Work the Plan" mantra, with a focus on "Plan the Work"
Oh well, if it was all easy Grandma would have been driving a hot rod, right?
