Sounds great Jim! Lets see some progress pics.
Jim, thanks for the update. I second the progress photo request.
These just in from Jim:
Looking good!
Looking good!
I figured some would chime in on my choice of exhaust. That came from Aaron also and I believe he is going to start making them. The 3 point tires and exhaust all comes from Aaron. What a great guy to deal with. I will do more business with him in the near future. Thanks for the kind words guys. Jim

Sure is looking sweet, Jim.
has anbody ever worked on the oil light? I got power to it and @ the switch on the engine. The bulb is good but will not light up. I took the light socket clear apart and can not find how it is supose to get a ground. My wireing diagrams show the switch on the engine haveing a terminal for power and ground but mine just has a power terminal. didnt know if that was a update or not. Some advice would be welcome. Thanks Jim

I'm guessing that with sufficient oil pressure the switch will open and the bulb not light. With engine off and no pressure the switch is closed and the bulb will light. If you have 12v at the oil pressure switch terminal momentarily touch a ground and see if the bulb lights. Worst that could happen is a fuse may blow. The ground must come from the engine block. Make sure there is a cable from the engine to the frame somewhere.

Today I gutted a 2072 my brother bought. I stole the power steering and dual hyd. got those cleaned up and painted. may get them installed tomorrow. Although I should probably Pull the engine out of his 982 and put the mag 20 he got with that 2072 since I stole parts from him. Sad fact was he help me steal them. Thanks Jim
This just in from Jim, a photo of the 2072 parts:

Drooling man. Interesting choice of a black steering cylinder. I've only seen red or yellow. Would look good with a black frame.
Jim, any red sheet metal yet? Or possibly a red lift cylinder and bracket? My p/s set up for the 782 needs new hoses.
The lift cylinder and parts are painted and on it. Waiting to do the sheet metal until I get shop cleaned and have the ac on to get rid of the humidity in the shop. Plus I don't think my brothers costumer's would be happy with a red mist all over there cars. Just cant decide if I want to use base clear or just the normal 2150 with clear over it. Or no clear. Sad fact is every time I go to the mailbox and get another bill for the wife's ordeal its getting closer to having to sell it. Man I don't want to do that @ all. But If I have to I will. Thanks Jim

I'm sure the $2000-3000 you get from the 982 wouldn't be a drop in the bucket to any substantial hospital bills. But selling it would likely cost your alot of your sanity and possibly some good resentment if your at all human.
Keep it around and pick up a part time job to pay the bills. You could probably make 1500-2000 in a month delivering pizza at night. Keep that cubby around... And keep something to get your mind off the troubles.

Josh, Feel free to bring me your 782d. I have the time as long as you have those green papers that have pictures of dead presidents. may take a short stack of them. But hey I never seen a brinks truck following a hurst. So might as well get rid of it now. Thanks for the comments guys. Jim
