August 2024

Getting down to the wire. Installed seat frame, passenger door, floor mat, grille, door stickers. First drive across town to a friends. Some issues with starting that turned out to be timing. Made it to the Jay Olfson Show and Shine in Downtown Anchorage (my wife took that picture of the tiny truck dang.) Later in the month participated in the Alaska State Fair Parade and car show. On the way home, had an engine noise that turned out to be a babbit rod bearing melted out. But had a nice rainbow over the truck.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
