Mar 30

Picked up some regular and SS bolts today needed for the engine install.  Then over to More Power to have Dick shorten the input shaft for the transmission by 1/2".  I used their press to remove the front bearing from the input shaft.  Painted the radiator support and generator adjusting bracket this afternoon.   Also removed the radio and looked inside - not pretty!  Going to send it out to one of two shops I found previously on the web.  Both specialize in repairing antique radios.  Read over the adjustment instructions for the steering box and made a decision to leave that task for later when I take the 41 to Maksim's for a front end alignment and suspension component inspection.  Reassembled the steering column and shifter column and put the steering wheel back on.  Couple of wires to replace yet and I'm ready for the engine install on Saturday.
