Pokeys rebuild

[pokey]

Got a few things done this weekend. All these "little" items are real time suckers:booo:
Finished up the radiator and fan mount. Got a full 1/2" of clearance to the compressor now:redneck: Wound up tieing it to the nose bar for the upper mount. Found some alum, tube that fit over the 3/8" bolts and then drilled some 1" holes in the grill for grommets so the grill has a little movement from the frame. Got the batterys mounted under the passenger seat along with the air tank. Was a little worried about have the batterys on their side on the floor (rubbing) so I found a great use for a couple of old mouse pads:haha: The winch syl, is for tieing the batterys together for charging and when that extra grunt when needed for long pulls. Even got the starter syl, mounted. Bunch of other small things but they all need to be done:booo:

This looks remarkably like Henry's old rig from about 92/93. Had a wicked small block with a big cam back then. Stainless hood and windshield frame.

Probably a different guy. IIRC, Henry got rid of his in 93 or 94. He didn't go out much.
