Thank you! It’s been slower than I wanted and expected. But it will be right when it’s done.

 

[Belizeit]

Yeah I'm in the middle of a slowdown myself. Kinda like a vacation, take 1/2 the clothes and double the money.

That’s awesome, it looks great. What engine did you go with?

Heater box back in, and pedals. I’m going to try to swing it over to the exhaust shop late next week before the snow flies and the cover the roads in salt. Making progress now.

 

[wjtstudios]

We’ve got most everything put back into the engine bay. Genesis dual battery tray, Novak radiator and fan, PSC power steering, and a few other upgrades.

Man, that black paint looks good! Are you painting this yourself or is a local shop painting it?
Their doesn't seem to be many black Scramblers around. Are you planning on doing any of the Scrambler specific decal packages? Can't wait to see it complete.
