Been chipping away at things when I’ve managed to get a few free minutes. Got the dual reservoir master cylinder and clutch master cylinder mounted and got some brake lines bent up as well.

Also swapped in a cable throttle pedal. Need to get a proper stud for the carb side connection but what I’ve got rigged up works for now. Went with an early 90s suburban pedal and an 18ish inch cable off Amazon. Easy to mount, just needed to do a little bending to get everything lined up and the pedal height adjusted.

My neighbor gave me the tires he pulled from his rv. 215/85/16, so roughly 30.5” tall. Load range E which is probably a good thing for this heavy beast.

Measured for my driveshaft and hoping to take it soon to get cut down. After that, I think I just need to bleed the brakes and we might be mobile again!
