Love that color. Caddys had some really cool colors that look custom but were factory colors for them

Put rear axle seals in last night. Gonna throw a thermostat in it today. Been doing little projects almost everyday and it's almost ready for daily driver status. For as long as the truck had sat it really hasn't needed that much. Gotta love old stuff that was built to last!

Bought new bolts and put in the cross member! It feels awesome actually assembling.

Tomorrow will put on the control arms, spring, spindles and anything else I can squeeze in.

Played with the drum brakes today while I wait for enough money to change to disk.
Brake cylinders look good, I think I'll just slap them back in instead of installing the new ones I got.....:lol:

My plan was for my son and I to go over to Grandpa's shop and switch out our steering column, modify the fan shroud to fit, and tap a couple of broken screws in the door panels. That all changed when I got the last minute call to work Saturday....oh well

My $10 grill!

http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/o...26728DA628.jpg

The crappy pics make the mesh look crooked but I checked it with a steel straight edge. Only one little wave on one spot which I dollied out tonight.

It's one of the best original grills I have ever seen.

Also picked up new stainless button heads for the motor mount perches and polished them up.

Completed 99% the electric fuel pump installation this evening. Adding a new mechanical pump and revised hard line to the carb tomorrow should bring it back to running condition.
