We spent all day Saturday doing body work and oil pump, oil pan work.  Sunday morning we did more body work and found color to paint the body.

I have been thinking.Almost always gets me in trouble. Since I made the fed so that the whole front end past motor can be pulled away. Leaving me with motor back. I can build another front end for it and have both altered/roadster and fed. Only thing would be how many altereds do you see with driver behind axle? Could be interesting. Altered with motor 50" out and 220# hanging out back of rearend.Might need co pilot to ride on front end to keep it on ground,any volunteers?

It was about 105 degrees but we got the body painted.  Believe me we had to make chicken salad out of chicken xxxx. The body was really ruff with lots of air pockets.
