Found a 2 bbr GM quadraject carb. and you can see the difference from the dauntless carb on the left and the better condition one on the right.
Also picked up the blasted fenders.....gonna need some TLC to get them in a better condition with some 14 guage plate.

After removing the layers of bondo you can see the real damage of the previous patch work it had so it will be re cut and welded to be built stronger.

Hopefully plan on getting back on this project next month and finish the sheet metal welding and maybe do a spring over to give it some height. Progress photos coming soon.

Never seen front fenders rust quite like that before. I think it would be worth just getting some better stock fenders and rebuilding that upper section on them.

I welded up one of the fenders with 14 guage plate just need to finish welding them and them il put them all together for mock up with the grille support. I cut all the rust out.
From June on out il be restoring it. I thought about a spring over but I don't want it too high so il just leave it stock height.

Ive done some little progress. I took the old springs and had them re arched and packed and clamped.....put a new tie rod, super winch hubs and new u bolts. hope to be done with the front suspension and start on making the truck fender mounts to hold everything in place. its been put on the back burner some sometime but il be back on it this month and the months to come.

Also my cat decided to sharpen his nails on my newly upholstered bench seat so I was a bit pissed but happens when you dont have a garage.
It was just doing a CAT scan, wanted to make sure it was safe for you to sit on!
