After 3 mounths its come along pretty well but we have found that it is alot bigger project than we thought when we first brought it home. Other than it being a rust bucket all the main parts where there except than the motor. We knew the welds on the frame were crap but we figured they would hold up, but the first time we drove it around the yard, they all started breaking. We then parked it to be striped down and re-welded. We also noticed that the front end was junk. The springs in the tortion bars where worn out so bad the whole rig was about 3 inches lower on the right front. We bought he motor from for 200 bucks, all 40 hp of it. surpizingly when we finally got it bolted on the thing fired right up and only leaks alittle oil.
Right now it looks pretty sad in the garage but its got a new front end so it finnaly sits level. Also a real gas tank instead of that old can on the back. The shitty welds are all ground off and its ready to be welded back togethor.
