    So after trying to warm the garage for three hours, (5 degrees this morning at 9:00 am) went out and maybe trying to pull the fuel tank first thing was not such a great idea.
    Having never pulled one before, but knowing I had to for the risk of the winch mount bolts ventilating the tank, I gave it a shot.
    Wish I had done it with the frame out, since you cant really see under the dash area.
    I spent at least an hour trying to get the bolts loose on the tank straps. Many scraped knuckles. Finally got out the drill and took out the rivets holding the straps to the body (shoulda done this first) and now I can see those bolts were never coming out without a torch (not a good idea when dealing with a fuel tank) RUSTED SOLID!
    So the tank is out, with the worst smelling fuel in the world. Thought I'd try a test. Soaked a rag with the "fuel" that was in there and tried to light it. No fire, not even the rag would burn. I've discovered a new fire retardant. Old gas. Who knew.





    Took out the rad because I am relocating the hose ports to make for better hose routing.
    Spent half my time next to the fire cause dang its cold.
    Gave up being cold so back into the house and now I'm gonna make some cheese cake.

    Got brake caliper brackets done, painted and installed.
    Plumbed brake hoses.
    Found a good clutch handle and mount to use as my throttle, thumb use.
    Ill get the fuel tank back in tomorrow since we didn't get hit hard from the blizzard, I don't have to plow much.

    Thanks JB.
    Couldn't do any work without it. I really hate the cold. (hear I come southern states this year after retirement)
    I only have time in the cold months to really devote time on this project.
