excellent work! Where do you get the bearings, gaskets, snaprings, etc. in Sweden? And without O'Reilly's, Autozone, or Pep Boys---what do you do for aggravation?

In your photo where the drive line hooks up, mine is leaking at the plate where it bolts up to the main housing. Anything special I need to know when I unbolt everything to install new gasket? What's the best gasket to buy?
Thanks

It's easy enough, all right. I've only done three. I LIKE to do that stuff.
But it's not easy to do ANYTHING if you don't have the time.

For most folks, some things (for me, it's body work) just need to be done with a checkbook.

Congrats on the Vintage Air.

Drove it, but over the past few days I've changed the passenger door hinges, added new front shocks and cut 1 full coil off the front. What a rack on this thing now, rack should be gone a little this weekend, 2" rear blocks next.

Took the headers off the old engine, stripped them down and repainted. Also decided to pull the tranny out , cleaned it up and repainted it too, what a mess it was. Hopefully pulling the motor tomorrow.

Lol yea now I just hand over cash to get certain things done, I've always done my own paint & bodywork... I did paint and bodywork for 10yrs until I got into my current job. Don't think I'll ever be able to pay for that lol
