I have been in talks with the parts supplier and we are working on some questions I have before pulling the trigger on this order. The bike may still be for sale, but my wife keeps telling me to be patient and not sell it yet. Unreal. 😃

I finished ripping the original bed apart. I will try to sell it piecemeal to see if I can get some cash for it. Hindsight is 20/20, isn't it? Reproduction steel floors go for $2000 cdn! And that old green floor is remarkably solid. Much better than the sides. We will see what I can wrangle.

Also, I have been doing some other things. I disassembled the grille. I removed the inside grille from the outside, remove the light buckets, park lamps, and all the little clips which were tagged and bagged in case aftermarket clips suck...what?! I have blasted the LH and RH light buckets, the window wiper fluid had bracket, the hood latch aligning pin and plate, and primed and painted them. Next up, I think I will blast and paint the outer grille brace/brackets and the hood latch/grille center support bar.

Still moving slowly, but not stopped. 🤔
