My friend "Rubber Toes" Droz came up from Topeka last week and helped me on the Ford. We put the front bearings and break calipers together and then put the front roller wheels on. We then took the frame off the saw horses and set all four corners down on dollies. Now it can be rolled out of the way when needed. We also rolled the cab back over did more sandblasting. Still have a little more to do. Hope to get that done before the weather sets in. Did some more mudding with the new Metal to Metal body filler and what an improvement over the last old can. Old filler is not good.
Roger also helped me do some figuring on the risers that will be needed if I use the bucket seats I bought. I agreed with him that I will just use the old bench seat for now on mocking up the cab for the steering column and other stuff.
We got into figuring out the brake lines and decided we needed to go to brake line school by asking questions at the Friday car club gathering.
Van and Jim came through again and now have us (me) going in the right direction. Van loaned me his brake line crimper and I bought a roll of 3/16" brake line in town today. I will tackle that project next.
