Sorry for the radio silence—new career challenges and life, in general, have kept me off the keyboard lately. However, the garage has been busy! Check out these parts my brother powder coated in glossy black; they look incredible. I also scored a 1963 front axle, which will serve as the base for the upcoming narrowed beam and dropped spindle setup.

Brake, steering and clutch week
After a long wait, I was finally able to dedicate an entire week to my project. I made significant progress on the steering system, installing new tie rod ends and refurbishing the steering box. I also galvanized and painted the steering components for a clean, rust-free finish. To complete the braking system, I bent and screwed in new brake lines and finished the accelerator pedal with a new cable. I also replaced the clutch with a new set. The next steps involve an oil change, brake fluid refill, and engine tuning. I'm planning an assembly weekend with some friends to help out and hopefully take it for a spin!
