Hows this project coming along? Jerry get her done! It will give Hans something to dream about and maybe use his single as something more than a work bench/storage unit :laugh: ! ( Sorry hans I couldn't resist the dig) I know in reality theres a lot on the go. One project at a time.

Yes, this is the one that sat in the yard in Poco for a long time.
I haven't done much with it in the last 4-5 weeks....actually I haven't done anything with it. I'm still waiting for my IRS conversion kit from WW...hopefully it gets here soon.
I was hoping to have it out by the end of June but without help or new found modivation it probably won't happen. I'm picking up parts at CIP today...hopefully that gets me going!
Gary.....as for a certian SC that's so buried in parts in someone's garage....I think he's gonna start on it next year! :)

Well, I painted the bumpers this weekend and got the front mounted on. Started the wiring and it's comming along slowly....i think im doing better with it than I expected. I'm mounting the gas tank one nite this week and pulling the tranny....maybe my IRS kit will show up from Wagons West one of these days! LOL

Well, the IRS conversion is complete!  It was fairly easy...some extra items needed and some stuff that nobody really tells you but it went pretty good.
Today I put the gas tank in and cleaned up a stock 1600cc motor that came with the truck. Hopefully this is a working motor....it's going in tomorrow and should be running within a week or so. As of right now I have a merged header on it but no muffler....If anybody has a muffler to sell that fits with my header  hit me up...I need one.
Anyway, tomorrow should be a good day and i think i'm gonna make some good progress....maybe it will make an appearence at Boston Pizza in a few weeks!

It was a good weekend and I got lots done. Pretty much all of the wiring is done, carbs cleaned and seems to run fine. Almost made it tru my shifter issues....I now have all gears and reverse(some more work needed here tho).It's looking like the SC will make it out the driveway some time this week. It definately won't be finished but maybe with a few more late nites I can get to cruise it to BP this weekend! Keeping my fingers crossed!
