2017 not many posts lots of progress

So I had a really busy summer finishing up the projects I could afford to do. I had a few unwelcome surprises like a broken front leaf spring and kingpins from hell. I had to do the kingpins as a matter of safety and common sense. It was also a key part of my Scare Bird front disc brake conversion. The disassembly was a little surprising, when I dropped the front axle the passenger side leaf spring was cracked. That lead to the purchase of new leaf springs an unwelcome bill...

I had two major components rebuilt by the best shops in Edmonton. My scrap yard Dodge 4 speed got a complete rebuild. The rad had major surgery and upgrading to dual core. The upper rad tank was manufactured out in BC by a custom shop.

The engine rebuild has really stretched out, but I'm in no real hurry for the powerplant yet. That will all change next spring I'd like to see this thing moving under it's own power next summer.
