Nice job on the engine!  Is the rest of the machine getting the same treatment.  If so, it's gonna make one nice machine!

Swamp Dawg:
Eventually.  Next is interior.

Swamp Dawg:
Well fellow bombardierers we tore into old red again this winter.  This time we attacked the rotting floor boards in the front and patched the front nose for now.  Going to make a removable panel for the nose later.  Also built a new back engine/rad door.  We even had time to put a pair of Hella driving lights on the front. Then we put it together and took it for a run from Flin Flon to Cranberry.

Nice to see the old girl getting a new facelift. Lots of time and work, but the end results are so enjoyable. Plus you are doing it the right way, the way that  Johnny Cash would have done it, "One piece at a time". Also its nice to be able to share your progress with us.  When you look at other peoples machines, one can get new ideas of the different ways people get things done on their machines. There are alot of talented people out there. Also, I enjoy looking over the variuos photos that people send in of their machines. Keep up the good work and happy trails in your travels.
