Christmas was good to me.

We are still in California.
I just posted one pic even though I have two of each steps, lower cab mud guard, CaptainFabs power steering bracket etc:

Bunch of "stuff" lower A-Arm u-bolts, rear axle brake line clamps (CPP), Trailing arm bushings . . .:

Fuel Line parts:

Master brake parts, line and CaptainFabs bracket:

**The Rocknrod** · 01-09-2016, 04:48 PM

15" Steering Wheel:

Eaton 30 Spline Posi, Richmond Gear Ring & Pinion, Master install kit:

Mossier 30 Spline Axles, lugs:

**The Rocknrod** · 01-09-2016, 04:50 PM

I had a great set of hood hinges, sent them to Cadilac plating to get them Yellow/gold zinc plated, then clear-coated:

**The Rocknrod** · 01-09-2016, 05:05 PM

Almost forgot - the front of the hood has some pin holes in it after blasting and epoxy priming, so I bought the upper and lower front hood sheet-metal so that should take care of that.

**The Rocknrod** · 01-11-2016, 12:45 PM

Trying to locate the two seals that are top of the front fenders at the firewall cowl area.

**The Rocknrod** · 02-06-2016, 01:50 PM

Update - I went with a POL Trac Bar as the Early Classic would hit the frame when it was all the way lowered (just in case)

**The Rocknrod** · 03-06-2016, 12:13 PM

Got my rear disc brake kit in, came with most everything needed (one side shown).

**The Rocknrod** · 04-22-2016, 04:20 PM

Also bought an electric emergency brake set-up.

**The Rocknrod** · 06-04-2016, 09:57 AM

Still working in Cal. but found Ricks Radiator in Azuza and bought a Aluminum Desert Cooler by US Radiator - at a KILLER price.

**The Rocknrod** · 07-30-2016, 07:22 PM

"Finally" got the powdercoating work back (almost four weeks) and began assembling the goodies. Upgraded to the larger lower control arm U Bolts as well.

**The Rocknrod** · 08-18-2016, 06:20 PM

Installing the rear end, trailing arms, track bar, sway bar etc. Got the fuel and brake lines installed.
