I am making slow progress, but at least I am getting there.

Frame is complete, Engine, trans, tcase, and cross members are in and bolted in the right location. Body tub is bolted in and next is the rear end and gas tank. After that I start wiring and detail stuff.

I hope to you in the Sierras in spring / Summer if all works out.
