Again, I have let far too much time pass since I last posted, but it never seems like I have done anything worthwhile.
Well, that changed this long weekend. I took Thursday off last weeka nd told the wife I would be in the garage.
It took forever but I was able to fabricate a radiator mounting system I can be proud of. I cut out the two little pieces of bar stock that were holding the radiator up solely from the flanges. I replaced it with a frame that goes all the way around the radiator and has a piece of angle iron underneath to help support the weight of the radiator. And then to secure it I welded tubes on the top of the bottom, ran thraded rod through them and used these to clamp the radiator in place. I am very pleased.
Other updates: the wiring is done, the trun signals, headlights, tailights, license light, third brake lights, reverse lights, dome light...they all work.
I am painfully close to having this thing on the road. I estimate 30-40 hours, but all the major fabrication is finally done. Wish me luck, I think I am on the home stretch.
