So It's Been a While

It's been sometime since I have done anything on the project.  I'm going to blame that on the heat in Arizona.  I have no desire to step outside and work unless it is really early in the morning (even then it is not that cool).  I have a lot of respect for people who work outside in Arizona during the summers.

I have been able to finish the transmission though.  I just have to check end play and torque the 5th gear retaining nut and then it's in the Cruiser.  The flywheel and clutch are on their way as well so it's getting pretty close to running condition.

My brother also finished the transmission crossmember and the engine mounts.  He was able to take them to work where they have some really good equipment so it went quicker than I thought it would take.  I'll have pictures up soon.   

Next up, going over the engine and making sure it is ready to be fired up.
