V1 Wallace58's Build

[wallace58]

Got some goodies from ZZP today, Header, gaskets, bolts, new accessory/SC belt, dress up kit for V/C. Trying not to do much more on donor stuff till I get kit home on 2/8/23. Some stuff on wiring videos don't make sense to me. Hopefully will make sense once kit is here.

Just a heads up, some of the bolts on the header are a real pain to tighten..... I want to say it was two of the lower bolts.

Good to Know. Most header bolts/nuts are. LOL.

There are some places that the SC wiring differs from the videos. I know I mentioned one in my log.

Made it to DF today. Adam gave Marsha, Gracie and I the tour. I got to see my 1st Goblin in person and sat in Adam's. We met the whole crew. I left my trailer with them. They will load it by Monday morning. We went up to our daughter and son in-law's house. Went to see the new Avatar movie at a dinner/movie house. Great movie and good food. Spending weekend here in Frisco. All snow and ice are gone except on sides of some roads. I will post pics when we get home. I left camera to laptop cord at home, LOL.

Did you go by the original set of Dallas (tv series) in Frisco? Well, what’s still standing.

No, but we are going to Fort Worth Stock yards today to see cattle and sights. Hope. to get some good brisket.

Good food there, all around.

Picked up all 3 kits on Monday. DF loaded them for us. All we had to do was tie them down. Spent Monday night in Leesville, LA. We are here today in Hattiesburg, KOA. Should be home in Trenton, FL. tomorrow.

Made it home today safe and sound. Here is some photos. We are dead tired tonight, LOL. 11 hours on the road today. Trip was 2219 miles total out there and back.

Plenty of room. Glad you made it safe.

I unloaded mine and Jason's this morning. I screwed up and forgot to order the Fiberglass Footwell cover. Adam is going to take care of it and ship me one, My bad, LOL. Seats are dropped shipped from Corbeau. I am going to inventory everything today.
