x2....& I'm glad to see you still making progress. I guess all the other stuff in the body shop takes up most of your time.

I have one, it's not in the best of shape but the housing is workable. The flap works and there's no rust through, but the tubes on the heater core are smashed. The fan spins but I haven't tested it to see if it works. I'm about 100 miles away from Loganville, I could meet you halfway. Whatever you think it's worth and some gas money is good enough for me.

Re: 198Plus build

Started my brake lines yesterday and run into problems right off the bat. I done a disc brake swap a couple years ago and bought my calipers for a 72 1.25 rotor and found out they had sold me a metric caliper. So I went to NAPA today to get the correct calipers and got lucky they swapped the old calipers out even though I didn't have a receipt from 2 years ago. So hopefully I get get the brake lines finished now......Spring is coming and I'm ready to ride this year hopefully.

Glad to hear you got the correct calipers. Do your hoses fit now?

Thanks for the advice John. The hoses could stand to be a inch longer, any suggestions on a little longer hose.

Re: 198Plus build

No new updates on my truck, too many other projects going on at both of my shops. This is why I never get a chance to work on my on truck

I know that's gotta suck in a sense, but on the other hand it looks like business is good! What all do you lack being finished on the truck?

Re: 198Plus build

Glad your keeping busy Ronnie. I'm in the same position, but a much smaller scale. Never have time to work on the truck. I go in spurts, then it sits again.
Alan, you guys are a match in heaven. Ronnie, open another shop in Ball Ground.

Join the business world. That's why I get money up front, then work it off. No money, no work. Get it out of here.

Re: 198Plus build

Hi guys, my name is Tom Shaw I am the one that just purchased Ronnie's truck. I wanted to let everyone know I got it home last night and tucked away. I will try to keep everyone updated on the progress. I can only hope to continue the great work that's been done to this truck already. I'm sure I'll be asking for help in the near future. It's a big relief that Alan is just down the road from me. I'm sure I'll be giving you a call in the near future.
Thanks again Ronnie
