The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts Getting really close to driving

Someone asked me for an update and I didn't want to thread jack so here you go.
I made an attempt at doing brake lines and did not do too well at first. Weather is changing and I really want to get this driving in the next 3-4 weeks. So I am having my brake lines made. Will hopefully get them installed this saturday for the most part. 1 more to do after that. Then just bleed and adjust the brakes. Hook up the driveline and clutch and go for a little jaunt down the road. Here's what it looks like currently.

Looking super cool!

Hey Fred sorry I disappeared on you! I am still here. Hey I know a destination for your little jaunt down the road LOL.

Good to hear from you Grant. My first few trips probably won't be that far. Will still need to do a bit if wiring and exhaust work.

Looking good. I've been working on mine a bit and it's also very close. Finished the brakes last week...just need to install the fuel tank and I'm ready for a road test. I think I will wait until spring to finish.

Sounds cool. You got some updated pics of your progress VEW? Would love to see some.

Here are some pics I posted last year. Exterior hasn't really changed much. I took care of the rusty areas in preparation for painting. I also got one piece 22.5 wheels and had them powder coated..put some 9r22.5 tires on them, so good to go in that dept.

Brake system is now complete (but sure wish a dual M/C and booster upgrade was available). Fuel tank has been cleaned and sealed and is ready to go back in (Spring). My left rear brake light is not working. After that is resolved, I'm ready for a road test!

I have gathered several interior pieces, seats with shoulder belts, conversion van soft/bed combo, etc. I will be doing next Spring. I spent a lot of time on it this year and it's been fun, but I'm ready to take a break, if you know what I mean.

I painted Thor (58 Viking) this year, so gearing up for the bus next year.
