Looking great Dwayne! It will looks super nice when it's done!:beerchug:

I hope it does. I am hoping to be able to show it to my grandmother whom I got it from and let her see what all I have been able to do to it to make it like it was when she first bought it.

That would be cool!

Another great day to work on the 128. Man, putting the rear/trans back onto the frame is a PITA by yourself, LOL. Finally got it aligned and bolted in. Then just simply started putting a few things on the frame and ended up with something that resembles a WF :).
It's not perfect or for show, it will be a workhorse to be used, therefore I am very happy with how everything has turned out so far, considering this is my first time tearing one completely down and putting it back together. :beerchug:

That's right!

Nice job on the dash too! Overall, great job!

DeeeeeWayne.... as they say around here.... that sure is purdy!!! It's looking real great man. Hope the back gets feeling better quick too!!

Looking great Dwyane!

I'd like to ask you a favor, though. If you get a chance could you take a close up pic of the bolt that holds the lift rod to the casting rod on the sleeve hitch. I was test fitting one on the 149 and the bolt head wants to rub the inside of the frame rail. I bought my sleeve hitch off eBay and am thinking the head of the bolt is too thick making it rub (the bolt I got with it is a new replacement, not the original), it also came with a flat and lock washer too..but if you put all those pieces on there, it won't come close to going inside the frame.

I actually have a fair amount of distance between the bolt and frame. But soon as I can I'll try to get a pic for you.

Dwayne it is looking great! keep up the good work buddy!:beer2:
