It's almost there! I am waiting on a new fuel pump to come in this week. Then fluids, a good once over to check nuts and bolts. then it is ready to start after 71 years!

Looking really sharp! I'm sure you're really looking forward to the first test run.

That motor is something to be proud of , Tom was great help to me also . Did you get the other vehicle ? That sheet metal looks like something to get excited about .

Re: B-3 restore pt2

Thank you, I am very proud. Yes I got the truck, it was well worth the cost and effort to go get it. The sheet metal was just what I needed. And the frame was much better, and the was correct length for the chassis plate. My original truck was a 136in chassis but the plate said 160in. I am taking the frame to the sandblaster this week. So hopefully before it turns too cold I will have it prepped and painted and the motor back in. I have not got the motor to idle yet, but it has ran on a bowl full of gas and starts easy.
