It has been some time since my last update but I have been able to put in some time on it this year. This spring I was able to install the new mud guards I had made up as the old ones were removed from the previous owner. It was a lot of work to drill over 200 holes for the rivets and the bins and about half of them were counter sunk.

Some more pictures of the newly installed mud guards. I also recruited the help of my dad to hold the bucking bar.

I also had to fab up some replacement parts for it a well so I had borrowed some of the parts from Doug Lavoie to copy them from.

This last week was a great week as it was very nice weather that we did not have for most of this summer and I was able to do some priming and painting of a lot of the parts including the tub.

A few more pics. The cart worked great for moving the tub around. This next week I would like to get the differential torn down so I can get it ready for painting before the weather gets too cold as well as some of the other parts and pieces.
