I haven't fired up the engine yet.

Well, got a lot done.
Spark plugs hooked up in order.
Body mounted with rubber and bolts.
Brake lines hooked up.
Steering mounted, needs hooked up.
grill on, radiator set in, fenders placed, and hood placed, all for show and a picture Very Happy

Hopefully tomorrow I can get everything else hooked up, and fluids filled. Maybe drive it around on Saturday Cool

Steering connected and almost all lines hooked up.
Brett stopped by today in his jeep, we put his soft top on and he gave me a spare drag link and components he had so I could put mine back together.
Very Happy

Thanks!

Glad that helped you out. Someday your missing parts will turn up.
Thanks for helping out and freezing your hands off, putting on my top.

Luckily Wade is only a few blocks away but ya the drive home was a bit more pleasant in our 20° weather.
