Day 9 was another early start, and our last full day of work before the show.
The body and paint boys absolutely smashed it today and got nearly everything painted. The last big task left is the tray, which is almost ready to go.
We got the cab fitted out with Mongoose Q-Mat sound deadener, and installed the new carpet, bench seat, and steering column.
We finally got the rear axles sorted today. The new wheels are on, and trims have been fitted to the grille, doors, and front guards. The brake master and booster have been installed, along with the trans cooler, front panel, and shifter linkages.
Since starting back up this year we have been struggling with parts deliveries. It came to my attention today that the ports in USA are striking – that explains why nothing has turned up all week! Never mind, we will still bring something to show y’all.
We have half a day left tomorrow before it’s time for Kumeu. Believe me when I say I’m Looking forward to tomorrow afternoon when I can say that’s all for this week folks! Stay tuned for the final pics from the show tomorrow.
