Lots going on with both Georges truck and the Webb's
On the Webb's
Got the engine fired up to check for leaks in the transmission cooler and fuel lines.

Then I realized it was a mess and clean it up a bit for some nicer photos. You can see the tank hold downs and exhaust heat shields. Here I screwed up and didn't leave enough room for the heat shields and had to add a spacer to the tank to move it up to clear. I'll correct this in future designs by wrapping the mufflers and moving the exhaust down a little bit.
And we got the body on for the last time.
We had to do a little different floor board modification for the gas tank filler neck since we raised the tank a bit but it won't be hard to seal up.
