We have gotten some stuff done, but nothing photo or post worthy, just little piddling stuff that needs to be wrapped up.

On my T I got the stainless steel and braided brake lines ordered from Inline Tube, should be here late next week, and I am waiting for the body to come back from the paint shop. I have to pull that darned starter down again and see what is going on with it. $ 280 for a starter and it is still not working right. Seems it is either too close or too far away from the flexplate because shimmed one way it hangs up, and shimmed another way it grinds like I have never heard one do. All my life I have just bolted a starter on and forgot about it, not this one.

We have been spending most of our time on Don's T. The other night Dan wrapped up welding the through frame tubes in place for the front shocks, and then Don and I welded on the battery box to the frame. We also tapped holes for the fuel filter, electric fuel pump, and starter solenoid. The plan is for he and I to get an early start tomorrow and get the frame primed and painted.

Today he had to leave early to go play, but we got his waterpump installed and a few little things. So hopefully by Sunday night the frame will be blue, then Monday night he and I are going to sandblast all the other parts like rear end housing, radius rods, etc.

I hope my buddy gets both bodies painted in the 3 weeks he quoted, otherwise things will get tight timewise for Thanksgiving. He is pretty good about that stuff, so I am not too concerned.
