It’s been a while since my last post. I find it real funny how life moves unexpectedly.
   So I finished the rear axle and breaks. I rebuilt the front right steering knuckle (new Dana 44 short front axle, wheel bearings seals).
The replacement Body panels and weather striping came in, so welding soon.
    I have all of the rubber and solid brake line so I will finish the brakes next. The metering valve, master cylinder and power booster and a few brass joints are the only old pieces left. AKA I almost have new brakes. I am trying to referb the fuel gage sending unit. Removing the old sending unit and cleaning out the Gas Tank is proving to be an adventure.

New skills from the past few weeks.
Sand Blasting
Packing wheel bearings (with grease)
Identifying 400 series Dodge engines

   It’s taking me longer than I thought to get this far. The last five or so days was unexpectedly but not regrettably spent with family. My long lost or is it well traveled sister from Australia is in town for last week and this one.
