Man, I'm on fire....however,I've been fighting some rusty wire on one level of the welder spool and I'm a bit out of practice so looks have suffered just a little on some of this where I have had more than one bead pass. Good thing most of it is hidden under the truck.

I knocked out the slave cylinder and got the floor pan cut out last night. Decided to throw the electric fan in which meant mounting the clip back up. Come to find out, the belt tensioner hit the radiator inlet! I dropped the engine back down to where the other engine was and now it clears, but the hose is going to touch the tensioner... looks like I need to get the radiator in to the shop to get the inlet moved. It will work for now, but I'd hate to knock it and get a nasty leak in Iowa. The worst of dropping the motor down is that I have to keep the electric fuel pump after all...

Transmission cover and throttle pedal tonight, then driveshafts and a little wiring tomorrow and I should be back on the road.
