Yup, and it hasn't even begun to draw water out of the gulf yet. Spring has sprung, I hope this one passes quickly and without injury.

Got my brake hard lines installed and the front soft lines installed, gonna order 2 front hoses for an 83 Dodge W150 for the rear caliper soft hoses and that will complete the brake system for now, the rear stainless lines was to long and I had to re bend it in several places but that is working in my favor, I am going to turn the fitting vertical using a new bolt on bracket to give me more slack on my rear brake hose

Also my book [emoji432] came in on how to make a Clancy class sailboat 
️ looking online at the lumber supply prices which are roughly double what is quoted in the book as 1992 prices I should be able to put the wood portion of the boat together for around $1300 I am going to build this for the kids and me to play with when the Jeep is done

got my last spring plate done. This one is specific to the passenger side of Dodge D44s. The inside uses studs/bolts instead of a ubolt. I am going to look into getting some ARP studs for mine. I am surprised that as thick as my old plate is that is was bent by the spring. That wont be possible anymore lol
