Been doing a few little things, got my wiper arms and electirc motor mounted.

The 2 little holes that bolt it up just did not align with the 55 threaded holes.

I ended up cutting open ended slots in the wiper mounts, this way I could have both bolts part way screwed in, then slide one end in place, slide it far over to one side, lift and slide it back to center on the second bolt.Then simply tighten the bolts.

Also, Somehow my hands just would not fit up in there well.

It had an antenna from way back in time, so I decided to keep one.

I also put on the rear bumper today, as well as the tail lights, they are LED.

The static cling of the dust at 15% humidity is crazy, electric shocks when I touch anything too.

Went through all my gas line fittings today and made sure they were clean, properly located and properly tightened up. I also removed the filter/regulator and made sure the paint was gone where it bolts on, also scraped paint off another place where I am going to ground wires, got to have really good grounds with LED lights, always want good grounds anyway. lol.

I put a piece of green tape on every fitting I checked and tightened as soon as I finished that particular one,That way I don't keep checking over and over. lol

I got my gas fill neck installed today and I ran a copper wire to ground the fill pipes to the frame so there is never a static charge.

Put in my gas gauge sender too.

I put in a few boards just to check to be sure all the hoses cleared.

I still have not decided what wheels to use, I think about it some every day.
