The resident detailer doing what he does best. Paint was pretty horrible. Did the best he could with what he had. Looks 100% better. Right side is what it looked like. Tomorrow for that side.

There's a clunk in the front end of the UDLX. Might have found the problem. 😳🙄 Next winter is new bushing time.

Short update on the UDLX. Gas tank is fixed and back in.
Found an axle seal was leaking badly. Since the brakes needed attention we pulled it down to fix both.
Got a new set of gauges from Evergreen Restoration. Quality looking gauges. Heard nothing but good about them. And we'll have a gas gauge!
If anyone has a UDLX speedometer hiding in their barn we'd be interested. 🙂
Until then we're using a Speedhut speedo.
We will be moving the battery back to its original location. That means the air cleaner has to move to original location also.
