Saturday we did some running. We loaded up the 509 into my Astro and hauled it up to Pat in Kawkawlin. He is going to crack it open and check all of the bearings and re-torque everything just so I know what AND where is before I fire it up.
We are also discussing hydraulic roller cams. I really don't know if I want to hassle with the solid roller that's stabbed in there right now...
We did most of the tank work after we got back from Kawkawlin yesterday. I laid out and drilled the holes this morning but we also hit the tinwork hard today.
Mel worked on cutting out the left front wheel well. It's all cut out here and you can see we already have the left front suspension assembled.

This is on the front side of the firewall.

While Mel picked away at that I worked my way around and seam sealed all of the COMPLETED wheel houses... Seam sealed AND primed mind you..
A few pics of the tubs after priming.

Got a lot done this weekend. I also have all of the new steering parts coming from Borgeson and I am working on power steering pump and brackets.
Thanks for looking
Mark
