I spent several hours trying to get the parking brake system installed. Finally figured out I had the wrong crossmember hook. I got the core support reinstalled along with the radiator and started to put the gas tank in. That is not an easy job for an old man.
I had to re-re-do the back brake shoes as I had the wrong ones. I was sold 245s when I needed 242s The little difference in size made a big difference with fit and function. I got a $7.38 refund for the price difference in the brake shoes. I also buffed out the pedal pad trim. It turned out really nice.
I took some pics but have not downloaded them yet. I will post them when I do. I put 11 1/2 hours labor in so here are the new totals.
Labor at 287 1/2 hrs...........$5,750.00
Parts...............................$7,715.80
Outside Labor....................$3,300.00
Gifts...................................$716.52
Total.............................$17,482.32
