Tim, that is a clean looking rebuild. Looking at all that makes me want to actually work on mine.

Beautiful work, and a great shop to do it in. The heat shut me down today, got in a hour or so but it was too much, I'd love to have shop space like that. Keep up the good work.

Here's some pics of the two position tire rack in the lower driving position for no loss of vision through the rear view mirror.

Remove two bolts, rotate 180 degrees and re-install bolts to raise to the upper wheelin' position so it doesn't make ground contact.

While I still have a way to go before completion, I finally got to take it for a drive up and down my buddy's driveway a couple of times and probably racked up a half mile. Runs great. Still need to bleed the brakes more as they go to the floor, but it stops fine at driveway speed. A good feeling to know it's no longer a static display. :reddance:
