More goodies arrived today. Heims for the drag link, mirrors, windshield wiper assembly.
Today the dash is officially connected to the T-Bucket, through the senders and other items. painted the brake pedal parts so they can be put together tomorrow. Then a final brake bleed after the gravity fill, the system is full of fluid, Rear axle is full, trans has 4 quarts in so far more after the engine has started. Running battery cables in the morning. With some luck there may be an engine start soon.

Todays progress.
Battery cables in place today, tested the completed wiring, all was good. More wiring to do and remount the fuel pump then fill with antifreeze. But the best test of the wiring was listening to the engine crank over. Need to install the exhaust after taking it off to do the wiring.
