It's been awhile since we've seen an update.  How's it coming along?   :)

No significant progress.  I am dealing with the minutia and awaiting a few last minute part deliveries.  Just put my graphics guy on notice that the sled will be coming in for decoration very soon.  Going away again this weekend so probably no updates until next week.

 :(  At least it will give me time to catch up to you with my build!   ;D  I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Looks like a pretty simple device, but it will take some fiddling to be sure that  it is doing what it is supposed to.

Looks great! 

Satin black Krylon Fusion spray paint for plastic makes the finish look like new again.

Had a pretty good afternoon. 

Wiring Harness mostly in place.  Carburetors re-built.  Fuel Pump installed and fuel lines plumbed.  Oil tank installed and oil line plumbed.  Just need to get the dash in and the water lines plumbed and she can go to the graphics shop.

I was witness to a miracle this afternoon.  While going through my collection of radiator hoses I was struggling to find one that was correct for the 1980.  I had to go to the machine shed anyway so while I was there I poked around some more to see if there were any other hoses that had not made it into the hose box.  I was quite pleased and surprised to find a 1980 340 chassis that I didn't even know that we had which still had attached the hose that I need for this project.

Guessing that the next project may be a 1980 340 Invader.

Another miracle today - among our stash of parts we found a working temperature gauge!  Woo hoo!  I am thinking that thanks  belong to Tory for this gem.

Today was a banner day!  And while I will not call this sled done, I am proclaiming it substantially complete!

We started this one the day we finished the pink one - today has been too long in coming.  Still needs a good shakedown but I am excited.

Now I have to get busy and make another windscreen.
