Well thought I would give a few updates, it's been awhile since my last post. In the negative category, the ole A/C bit the dust in this 90 degree heat. Had to do something quick and ended up getting some good window units. The down side to this is I had to use money set aside to finish up the 128, . Oh well, I have all the time in the world so no reason to get upset over it. So while I can I am trying to get all of the frame and little things cleaned and painted that I can do while just sitting around. Here are some pics of things done in the last few weeks and today.

Got the hood and front headlight grille put together:




I got the old decal removed from the headlight panel and found several stress cracks that I had to weld up and grind down. It is now nice and straight and will work real good:


Got the hood hinge cleaned, primed and painted today also along with the headlight panel:


I was able to get the PTO lever put back into the steering tower and I took the key switch and glass beaded it and the connector ends and also the key switch cup. Looks like a new one now.


The rear fender pan was a lot of work but I think it turned out real well:


I really had no intention of splitting the frame and transmission, but somehow today while it was in the 90's I decided I needed to seperate them and get the dirt off and then prep for paint. They aren't prepped for paint yet, but I did at least get them apart, LOL. I was about wiped out after all that.
