Disappointed to have missed all the fun.

It wasn't much fun without you being there Gene. So you didn't really miss anything.

Nope. Between vactations, COVID (yep, I got it), lots of rewiring and probably some other things I'm forgetting, it's close, but no cigar. But here's a few pictures.

First set is of the motor in various states of doneness. Medium rare, I think.

The speedometer got the signature break-out of the turn-signal feeds to have left and right turn signal indicators. Of course, it never fails, something was not going to go right with that. The shaft broke, or was about to break, on the speedo gear. I'm usually very careful with these things and it was attached one second, and not the next. Thankfully I only needed to contact my speedometer guy (me as well) and had a very nice unit. And the clear plastic and chrome bit was in not so good of shape, worthy of all this effort, so I stole one from my Sprint wall dash. And, cleaning the GEN and OIL cel wiped the GEN right off. SO... since we updated to the internally regulated Lightning Whirler, it got a lightning symbol custom painted on.

And, of course, I had this spare wire on the new 2-speed intermittent wiper system I installed, so Jeff was forced to get the washer bag and pump to use that wire. Only made sense to.

Hey all of you who still exist here... LOL... We did finish up this wagon a week ago tomorrow. I will be posting a little more detail on it just to close out this thread... for phase 2. Jeff already has a small list for phase 3, but for now my Ranchero is now in the garage for its phase 438.7. I'll post more on that when that phase begins. Right now I'm onto the things a big build like this puts on the back burner. But hope to shift over to that in a week or two.
