Project Junkyard Dog

Dog update: work has been nuts so progress is spotty, early morning and late nights mostly. I do finally have pretty much all the parts I need thanks to ebay and the salvage yard.

I swapped to steel wheels, for two reasons, 1) I needed a narrower front and wider rear wheel (The wheels on it were 15x7), and 2) I sold them for $250 (I had 80 in them). I sold the aluminum wheels on craigslist, and went scrounging and got 2 steel 15x6 front and 2 15x8 white spoke wheels from the salvage yard, mounted, for $20. All that's left there is do I keep them white, or go black, or silver? I know, big decisions!

Engine will be assembled on some late nights this weekend, and trans next, then we install and button it up!

Back to work! Thunderstorms with heavy rain and sewer plants don't get along...
