Waiting on parts for a 7 tooth steering box and column and some rear axle seals . I had a nice set of late 31 cast iron brake drums for the front they fit over the new brake lining with just a wiggle . And I uncovered a full set of tires and wheels the tires hold air but cracked and weathered good rollers . The wheels need paint but look great and roll straight no wobble couple bent spokes they might be the best set of wheels that I have . Tightened a lot of nuts and put in cotters today and drive in grease fittings . I have a set of steel drums for the rear they fit over the break lining also once I get the rears on I can adjust the brakes . But plenty of body work to keep me busy until parts arrive .

I have a roller I've accomplished more in the last two weeks then I have in years on this project. All my parts came in I'm adjusting brake rods and brakes I can spin three wheels easy the left rear is a two hander. Steering feels great but its off the ground lol I need to go back out and install cotters on all the brake rods befor I forget.
