Pictures. The engine is now bolted into place.

Man, 3/8" riv-nuts are hard work for an old guy to install. Then, only 3 of the 4 holes lined up. And it was so close. I cut one of the tack welds on the cross member giving me the headache and gave it a couple of whacks to line up the hole, ran in the bolts, and re-tacked it in place.

As you can see, the tank is sitting on the rocker cover. I'll need to reposition that now but that can wait.

Back on the road tomorrow, so next weekends plans, besides grandson Eli's birthday party, are to pull the wheels, triple tree, and engine. Then take the frame outside to weld it up.

Maybe.
