Got everything degreased,sandblasted,primed and painted.

Had one issue with the Prothane torque mount, the sleeve is to large on the I.D., they are saying it should be a 5/8" bolt whereas my bolt measures 1/2". So they are looking into it....WLYK when I find out.

Still have to mount up my diagonal braces on the crossmember and the torque mount, then I can get back into building my intermediate tailpipe hangers. Atleast I'm going forward again.

Oh yeah, my compressor took a crap, so I have to rebuild the valve plate under the head....go figure, twenty years of flawless service and the week I need my sandblast cabinet and it decides to quit. I'm going to call Mr. Roebuck

BTW, it feels good to be back in the blue

Here's a pic
