Retired Wrencher 5,329 #1 Posted August 22, 2022 I been enjoying every minute on this. Gathering parts cleaned from the front pin to the rear hitch. She is not perfect but. This had three colors on it with a clear coat gone bad on the top sides of the engine. Now it is two because of the P/O painted the outside parts a darker color may be burgundy? Things like this consume me = time. But I have a lot of that. This is my third 1257 I have always like these very much. IT IS THE START UP. I hope you enjoy the picks. 2 12 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 40,734 #2 Posted August 22, 2022 I see the J bolts on the right side of the engine. Threaded holes not in the pan so you can bolt it from underneath? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike these have no function, also this is going to be a garage queen. I had one like this one time. Just thought it looks cool. Adding a little bling LOL.

The rear fender and the hood are already done by the P/O with new decals on it. So, I will leave it like it is.
