Thanks for the words of encouragement!

Spent some time today monkeying with mechanical shift linkages. Right now, I've got Park, Reverse and Neutral ... thinking I may toss the factory linkage in favor of an adjustable one.

Got the rear cross member made up about 75%

Which set me back a bit, though, because when I tried to test fit the S10 Blazer tank, it became apparent I got my wires crossed when I measured before - the tank is about 32.5" wide and there's only 28" between the rails

... sooo back to the drawing board on that one.

Red saw the sun today!

If only for an hour before it started raining

It's a great feeling to have a roller again.
