Long time away

I noticed it's been almost a year since I last posted.

My house project took over most of my spare time, and any wrench time has mostly gone toward maintenance of my 2 trucks.

I have finished the second rear wheel, and am deciding whether to start on the front wheels or start working on the transmission.

I have found a few parts for the future, and need to sell off some of the parts I will not be using.

Purchased new bolts to hook the hub to the brake drum because most of the ones I had were bent. I found them on a ford site for a good price, I just have to cut 1/4" off the end to make them the correct length.
I also found a set of "hubcaps" that were in pretty good shape.
I also bought some Jaxon wheel clamps since I was short one. These are painted black and not chrome like the others so I will have to fix that.

I received some sheet metal working tools for Christmas so maybe I'll try to fab a body panel.
