What you just said sounds like where I'm at with my 40. I hope to be able to drive it this summer. I have said that for 2 now.

I've been sayin it for a year now as well. Crap! That means I'm a year behind you!

Well here we are another Sunday in the history books. This one was a productive one for sure. I drilled holes thru my motor mounts for brake and gas lines, holes thru the frame for the "Thru the frame" brake fittings, welded in my front spreader bar & ground all the welds smooth. I welded up a couple of unwanted holes at the rear of the frame; seems the previous owner couldn't decide where to drill the holes for the gas tank. I decided to go without the rear gas tank cover and use the matching nerf bars on the rear. I think nerf bars are kool but I don't like seeing them mounted on the outside of the frame. So in order to run them inside the frame I had to modify the rear spreader bar. I narrowed it 5/8th of an inch and cut off the bumper mounts. I also had to slot the holes on the berf bars in order to fit the bolt spacing. In the end it's going to look great. I have about a half an hours work left on it and it's off to powder-coating. That'll set me back about a g-note. I'm getting it all done at once (frame, bones, axle, trans mount, rear spreader bar, rear 4 bar set-up, drag link, and tie rod. All in gloss black. I'll have it all back for Christmas shut down so I can put it all together. While it's gone I can do some much needed cleaning. The place is a F---ing shit hole!
