Brad's 1954 R Series Build

BRAD SAID: It may not look like much, but i am making progress
I know that feeling. I spent most of this day going under the car and then crawling out again. I know that I got a lot done, but taking a picture of what I did would show nothing.
Carry on. You do nice work, me thinks.

brad i ran my wires and fuse panel upper left corner driver side firewall just below my clutch booster

Cool, thanks. Kind of what I'm thinking too

BRAD did you check out my first run yet I posted it last night

I hadn't.....lemme go look now

Brad did you ever get your brakes to bleed right with the wildwood prop valve? I could not get it to work right with the master cylinder..I had to go back to the old school non adjust to get proper braking in front ..I got 8 hours or so wrapped in that **** thing.

I haven't tried yet. I only have the front brakes plumbed. I haven't even purchased my rear end setup yet.

Hopefully I can wire and fire here over the next couple months, then I'll buy the rear end and rer brake setup.

Busy summer for me. i got my family moved into my new place. Finally got my workshop setup in the garage....

Unfortunately for me, in addition to the move, it was a difficult August for me, as my mom of only 57 yrs old, passed away unexpectedly. So, between moving, traveling back to iowa for the funeral.....i havent done much on the truck. It really sucks because my mom really enjoyed my progress on the truck, and always looked forward to pictures. I dont know what its going to be yet, but i would like to do some kind of tribute to her on this truck. I wouldnt be anywhere, nor even have this truck without her.

I did get the power steering lines plumbed, and i'll be working on the transmission cooler lines and A/C lines next.

The truck's looking good!
Sorry to hear about your mom. That's gotta be tough.

Dean

So sorry to hear you lost your mom. And so young. I lost mine, too. My mom kept track of my projects.
It takes the wind out of your sails...
