Looking Great Trevor!
I might have some free time this long weekend if you could use a hand.
I didn't see Jonboy in the photo of the Semaphore on my phone...it's good to see these full sized.
I'll be watching this thread, as usual...

Got the trans in it's final position at last with a bit of modifying of the front rubber mount. And the T3 brakes on also.
The new windows in
And the laser etched logos with correct "dots"...wouldn't be caught dead without them!

Laser etched you say, I'm sure that's how they did it in the factory. In fact wasn't that what was in the big building with the smoke stacks? The laser for etching window glass? Yes, I'm sure of it.

Safaris are played out 
After the last trip to Cali in the 54 during the wettest summer I can ever remember I decided to pass on installing safaris in the SC. I'm a human not a fish!

Thanks Keith. It's been a lot of late nights usually ending at 1AM. Been stalled on a few items so making due with what I have until the rest of the parts are painted and a major front suspension piece shows up on my door step!

Hey Trevor,
If you could use a hand this weekend...let me know. I'll make the drive up and do what I can to help get your project back on four wheels.
You can PM me on Facebook or text me.
Let me know...

| Hey Trevor... The smooth gate is looking good. Did you have to modify the tranny cradle like Kens to get the front mount to fit? |

I did slot the rear cradle mount holes 1/4" but found it not neccessary. I cut 3/8" off the front of the new WW rubber front mount and the trans sits in the stock location now. No pushing the engine back at all!
