Project Clydesdale

The rods were installed and rear frame end plate on about 8 last night, I lost track of time so didn't do pics till this morning after cleanup. The engine mount plate is ready for the front frame, I just need to figure the engine mounting holes and make them. The later sunsets are messing me up, not that I'm complaining lol.

The rear fuel filler extension is done, frames are done and painted, and the front steering rod has been beefed up a bit, time to put it back together.

I thought I did these pics in an update at lunch time, guess not lol.

Lookin good

If the phone would quit ringing I could get something done lol.

The fuel tank and neck is mounted and done, fuel line is run and some holders put in for it as well as other things, motor is mounted and drain plug is made so it's easy to get to and doesn't get oil everywhere. Now maybe I can get on to some wiring.

The week has gotten away from me and I forgot to order the stacks Where did the week go?

Did you test fire the engine?

Would love to hear it run too.........................

Not yet, I still need to wire it up and get exhaust on it first. Fuel system is almost done and oil system is closed up now so it's pretty close.

I got ready to get out the hydraulic press and make battery cables last night but I had plug wire stuff all over the bench I forgot about in that spot so I did them to get them out of the way. I got pics of them finished this morning and am about to get them in the store because someone is waiting on one.

Then I was gonna work on it this afternoon but my dually is in the shop with a load of wood on it to keep it out of the rain last night, and I noticed there's brake fluid running out of the left rear drum all over the place so I guess I'll try to do something about that this afternoon so I can get the wood put away. It's always something lol.

Fuel is done and getting back to the electrical. I ended up drilling a hole and putting a grommet in the front relay panel on the left side for the fuel line, I never liked the original setup with the line just coming out near the steering gear.

Negative cable is made and on, getting ready to mount a distribution block under the fuse blocks so I can make more cables and start running some wires.
