Really nice, Ken, keep the pics coming as it inspires me to work on mine. My work's been super busy recently, but things are slowing down a bit so I can be full time doing important stuff again like the BUS! Yours looks really nice and I'd like to see it in person so I can ask lotsa questions......

This looks amazing! I can't wait to figure out when I can come back east for a few days.

That is my intention. I ran it on the stand and it seemd to run as good as it did when I last drove it about 3 years ago. It's always been a good runner. :D

I put the gas tank and engine in yesterday. It's almost ready to take for a spin. Need to rewire the instrument panel and lighting, but I can start it remotely from the engine compartment.

Looks super clean Ken. Will it be done for the Columbus show?

Tom,
Thanks, I may be ready by that time, but I probably won't make it to Columbus this year. We have family vacation plans.

I installed the rear apron and bumper last week and took it for a short drive. Seemed run very well and the brakes even worked (which is even more important). Now I have to tackle the under dash wiring which is going to be a real pain. The first thing you need is a good wiring diagram. I found this original factory shop manual at a swap meet some years ago with a full color wiring diagram, it's priceless.
