Re: Mr. Simpson Build Thread
Well, I've been slacking on posting here, but I've still been able to make progress on Mr. Simpson.
I got all the brake and fuel lines in and tightened up. I got the rear end bolted in, the girder style diff cover on, and the front end all buttoned up.
I got my motor back and got it and the T56 painted. I've never painted an engine with a base coat clear coat type paint before and I'm not sure I'll ever do it again, but I think it turned out really nice. I got my Mcleod flywheel and clutch mounted up and got the trans bolted to the engine. Got it all bolted in the chassis. I did have to cut the transmission mount up and lower the mounting point though, because it was originally for a 700R4.
Next is cutting the floor out to clear the T56 and get everything hooked up to the engine and trans from the cab. Then it'll start to look like a truck again!
