Delayed progress: 79 shovel

So i am a bit behind with the posts but i Had a bunch of photos that needed to be posted. Got the shovel engine buttoned up and ready to drop in the frame, it cleaned up great. Below are Some pics of us lapping the valves , shimming the rocker arms , Murph sealin the inside of his tranny, prepping crush washers and whatever else you see. Fender is in and I have the petcock ready to install on the tank so there will be some good fabrication photos to come. Going to be doing some molding on both the fender and the tank with 1/4 steel rod. Also I am going to make a steel run to grab 5/8ths stainless rod for my sissy bar. Once the jig is done this shovel head project will start to roll on.
