Mike,

We're all laying low right now at work. The good thing is I guess that everyone's '09 budget's finally got approved apparently, because within the past 2 weeks we've been going wide open. Corporate even approved overtime if we needed it to complete jobs in a timely manner. So hopefully we can keep our heads above water.

Yeah, the tank is almost a spitting image to yours huh. Go figure. That's why you don't mess with a good thing.

Jtrux,

I'm still going with a 71-72 front end. I bought a bunch of new repro parts a guy had and it was an all of nothing deal. The deal included new 67-68 fenders and (2) 67-68 take-off grilles. That's why you saw the 67-68 parts in my thread.

The "original" frame was a hack job, so I looked around till I finally found an original, unmolested swb frame. After tearing this thing apart I made it one of my goals to start with a solid foundation and go from there. Once again "hind sight is always 20/20.
