thanks fellas, i know its boring progress! i need to turn it up soon, i got a little burned working on it but im getting the itch again to get it a lot closer to driving!

while still needing some more parts to finish the motor, i figured i could finish up the panhard bar. i picked up a a 30" solid bar to extend the short cpp one i have now, so i unbolted the passenger side ta to get the panhard bracket in. well i notice its 2 different nuts first of all, but while putting it back together the nut only went so far, then stalled, with an impact gun. so i tried my own strength with a ratchet, and the ratchet broke. i figure somehow the threading is either stripped or something, soooo, i just cut the u bolt in half to get it off. would an autoparts store carry a u bolt that big? i think its 3/4" thick and about 10 inches long maybe? i really dont want to order another u bolt and wait on it to get here, just more and more setbacks!
