There you go Don, just for you and the other Monarchy lovers. It was the first time I saw it and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
A bit more work done today...
![]() ![]() Started out preparing to dismantle old unused dog pen, no pics… trimming trees and removing a small stand of briars that had invaded a small portion of the fence line... Then time to Pressure Wash the frame to remove the crud build-up… ![]() ![]() ![]() Next, with the help of future Son-in-law, we Dis-assembled a hand built dog house and shade structure… Following that, I made my way over to my neighbors to collect a free gas pedal and throttle cable from a square body cab... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Set the now dry frame upside down and located the rear-crossmember for the Chevy trailing arm set-up and marked and drilled the bottom 3 holes per side... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I bought this DeWalt Drill bit set (1/16" - 1/2") and it is sure nice to have sharp bits, made quick work of the holes... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Two more days off with great weather forecast... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() That's all for now Guyz and Gals... ![]()
