we got home today I put the WRL up on the top. we are putting this stuff together now so if we have to do any drilling or filling we do it before we paint.
also if we have a problem correction it now is a lot easier then when everything is together. all of this equipment was removed when we got this one so we rewired all the emergency equipment. the floor switch I picked up from that man at the Florida meet works good.

i would have put the tunnel lights in but I used one of the pig tails in the other siren light. still havent decided there flash pattern yet.

getting the center door ready to prime and jam. had to look twice at this but you see the problem with the drain holes that Armbruster put in there doors. no wounder it rusted out. it does no good to repair the rust it you don't fix the problem. we hope this change will do good. while we were at it we figured that the skin should be tacked in a few places to. after we prime we will seal the edges also it all helps

Wonderful to see it going down the street! A couple of comments the transmission sounds just like the one in my first car a 41 Pontiac they did not change except the tailshafts got longer. And the oil pressure looked a mite low all my strait eight Pontiacs always were over 40 going down the road. I hope it does not have a stump puller rear axel ratio so you can use it on the highway.
 
This one runs right at 45 going down the road right at 35 idling. It doesn't feel like a low geared rear end. It will roll quit at around 60. Here we were doing about 10 in second. I do need to get the oil changed. It has been awhile. But she runs a lot better with the valves set even. There were at least 3 set way to tight.
 
My 41, they were too loose had to do them twice after the valve job to get them as quiet as I wanted. I added an Edmunds manifold with two two barrels and a factory high compression head then I could dust off the other kids with V/8 Fords.
 
I have it as fare together as it gets for this meet. just out of time and other thing to do before Monday.
