This may be the last pic I post on here for a while untill I have managed to move truck and contents of workshop. though I have finally finished the electrics with the generous help from my father.
Just need to fit wings, wipers and other odds'n sods but its getting there looks a bit better with the spare wheel fitted.
Am looking forward to its first shake down road runs

Well the chev has a new temperary home as it now resides at the estate I work on, had to move it on a beaver tail as I am having problems getting the brakes to operate properly.

Its starting to look the part now with details like roof grab rails, headlights, and markings to do. It drives well but with no brakes its quite an experience

After adjusting wheel cylinders according to the manual the Chev has now got some brakes and a good pedal, I am bedding in the shoes to the newly skimmed drums and have done 4.5 miles so far with nothing major falling off, just the odd adjustment here and there.
Jobs for Sat include making brackets to take the front british army Butler sidelights to act as disguised indicators and some temperary mirror adjusting brackets to allow me to fit the mirrors as even with no tilt fitted its not much fun reversing without them.
