I needed to solder a rod in the body so that i would have something to install it with once the distrib. was done then once that was done I could solder the body together..... Ok so maybe I skipped a few steps but I can only post 4 pics at a time now here it is before paint for a test fit....whatya think... see ya soon..... -
