Since the 701 was such a unique model, I am glad to see you giving it the royal treatment.

@WHX24 You might want to keep an eye on the build. If you see me making some thing that you will need for your 701 let me know so that I can make 2 right away.

WHX??

Thanks.. will do.  I don't think I really need too much in the way of parts. All mine are blasted already but should get them in the shop for self etching and start a mock up and figure out what else I all need. 

Figure on getting extra paint when you start shooting red, I will bring over what I may have ready. You may be enlisted to do some body work on the hood too. 

I actually worked a bit yesterday on my 701 161 that I got from Kev. Started putting it back together. 

 

What's your plan for the spindle? What me to take a gander in the parts shed? I know there are some 753 spindles out there.

That would be awesome!! :handgestures-thumbupright: I'm going to try to save what I got but it would be good to know that I had a back up plan.

Laid down the frame and started messing with the steering gear on mine Dan. I think mine is gonna have to be the first resto I've done where I have mock the whole thing up then strip down to paint.

Whose crazy @$$ idea was it to do 701s anyway!

 I chuckled a bit when I was taking off some nice green looking patina off those greaseable bolts that hold the drag link to the steering arms. Much as I wanted to use the orginals  they are just too POed and will have to go to the 753 donors.

'Nuff stealing your build ... will just do an unveiling!

An early escape from work yesterday gave me some time to play on a lathe. I used this time to whip up some new drag link bolts. I made them just a bit longer so that I could use washers with them when installed. Finding Stainless jamb nuts proved to be a challenge so I just faced down some standard stainless nuts.

 

@pullstart I used my "eyecrometer" when I made the jamb nuts. Measured them later to find out that there is only .001" difference in thickness between them.:thumbs2: Talent or just luck?? I'll let you make the call.:lol:

 

New ones next to the old.
