I got this from a member in Kansas. He also had an air cleaner but because of eBay I wasn’t going to pay the price. ( no Glen that isn’t your carb lol)  Just for kicks I bolted it on the 55 to see if it was any good. It ran pretty good for sitting a buttload of years ( still better then the one I had rebuilt for my 71)

Chris (member) sold me the rear bumper, 71 front bumper ( possibly better then the one on my 71, I haven’t looked yet) and some miscellaneous parts. I forgot to add this yesterday.

Now I need to clean up this mess before I get into trouble. Lol. It’s getting out of hand.

Yea it don't talk long to make a mess eh. Bag them and tag them!

[Michael Boyte]

That's going to take some rather large bags 😂

You are going to need to build an out-building for all of your parts, maybe Joe can give you the plans he used.

What was that TV show....'Hoarders'?

If you see people with tv cameras show up, it may be an intervention.

I have two sheds with parts in them. But there can be a lot more stuff put in them.

I may even pay for that. Lol. Someone needs to hit me upside the head with a 2x4. O wait that’s been done. Didn’t help.

I have one somewhere, no idea where. Someone once told me- safety first, above all else-  I don’t think I grasped the concept. I am getting a little better with eye protection though. Lol.

The last picture shows the original rusted holes sitting on top of the repair. It’s not perfect but it’s ok.

Nice job Dennis!

I have a few body mounts like that on the 71 402 4 speeds frame. I purchased the "washers" that are to be welded in. That's Kevin's job tho. Lolol l can cut the hole but my welding skills stink. Lol

I bought the washers. But they were a lot thicker than the frame. I didn’t think they would weld correctly so I went this route. Let me know how the washers turn out because I’m curious if I possibly went the wrong direction. I still have two more to do. One I have another piece of frame for, the other may get a washer.

Nice job Dennis!!

Looks great ,nice job

[Dtret]

Another one done. One to go. I think I might be pressing my luck on working in the basement on this. I just set off all the fire alarms in the house. Someone is NOT happy. 

[Dtret]

So I finally finished all the frame holes I won’t bore you with them but I had a front shock hole that was egg shaped. I snapped the first picture after I started but you get the idea. An 11mm 1/4 drive socket fit perfectly in the other side so that was my goal. I did it. Ya. Something I have never done before. A good learning experience the last couple days. I’m now done with the frame work. It’s ready for sandblasting.

Nice job Dennis!!
