January 10-13, 2020. Out with the Old and in with the New

I spent some more time messing with my dash gauge panel, I used a dremel tool to open the holes for the replacement gauges. They stick out the back a little bit, so i'll have to drill access holes in the cover plates. Easy money.

The new body mount kit came in the mail from Energy Suspension.

I finally got to pick up my new gas tank that ole boy down south mis-ordered. It came with everything but the big O-ring for the fuel level sender. I used a can of paint that has been on the shelf for a "while" to give it a bit more protection. I still need to acquire new rubber hoses for it though.

I jacked up the body enough to get the old remnants of body mount out and installed one side. I'll have to replace the two rear bolts, as they sent hex bolts instead of carraige bolts. I only had "issues" getting one front body bolt out but Mr. Impact Wrench made short work of it. Luckily there were only two body bolts that had nuts on them.. the rest were not replaced when they swapped out the body!
