The battery boxes are almost complete. Time ran out on the last day of welding class with only a few welds to go. Bummer. I'll have to borrow a welder...
We have a good number of parts on order. I'll post when they start arriving.
I still haven't located a used clutch disk, though I have found a list of automobiles that used the same, or at least a very similar transmission. That increases the pool of discarded clutch disks to pick from (quantity is still zero, unfortunately).
