I haven't posted in quite some time. Gathering misc parts and sourcing a chrome plating company for ice picks, ribbed handles, T handle, vent window chrome etc. Someone told me to contact Walkers Chrome Plating in Redding. Anyone that has used them please chime in.

Recently purchased a new wiring harness and will start working on rewiring next. I ordered a beam last year from Old Speed but had to cancel order due to personal reasons. Russell @ Old Speed was kind enough to fully refund my down payment, stand up guy!! Well... know he has my order in production once again, 4" narrowed complete with 5x130 porsche disc brake set up.

Next purchase Fuchs.

Did not swap the beam this weekend but (with the help of MJM) replaced the battery section on pan. Used correct early pan section purchased via thesamba from virtanen. Very good fitment and pressing.

Will swap beam once I've received fuchs and slapped on a set of tires.
