Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
Wiring is done.
Stereo is in and working Cooling system holds water. I've been over-thinking the engine oil cooler for three years. Today I bent up two little mounting brackets, and once they come out of the powder coating, the cooler will be ready to hang. I -think- all I need to do is throw in a new battery, pressure test the fuel system, pressurize the oil system, and it should run. I'm scared spitless.

Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
Seats in, just need to fabricate the jump seat. Also went back to the Precision door seals, but spent a LONG time trimming out the three extra grip ribs on the inside (outside) part of the seal to make the doors close better.

Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
Got insurance, got license plates on.
Seatbelts installed. Bed emptied of all its junk. Pretty much ready for some street tuning.
