SHOP UPDATE: Todd's 42 Ford is getting really close

 Susi is changing out the four link bolts for bolts a touch longer.
 We mounted the electric fan on the radiator and prepped it for install
 Here is the radiator installed and ready for the hoses and fluid
 Did a little test fit with an unknown brand grill shell I come up with. We will see if Todd likes it before I start trimming it for fit.
 I had to change the selector shaft in the trans for the Lokar shifter. While we were inside I changed the trans filter. The trans is clean and the old fluid looked real good. It should be a good used trans.

 My wife had to take over for me and finish up installing the trans pan. She is definitely keeping me on light duty. It is so hard to not just dig in and work really hard.
 The glass setting tape showed up and we finished up the drivers door. Once it is up and running we will get it to Al's glass and he will finish the glass install.

 We finished installing the TV cable and all the brackets for the AOD. Next is to fabricate the linkage for the trans shifter and button it up.
 We installed and mounted the flexible dipstick and tube for the trans. Next is trans cooler lines. We are missing a couple brass fittings and we will start bending some tubing.
Just thought I would post one more shot of my favorite hot rod builder !!! We had a really productive couple of days together.
