Oh, and Happy New Year to all the great folks on this forum who have helped me get this far! 1 year down and hopefully not too much farther to go!
All the best!

Outstanding work to date.  Your amazing progress helps keep me motivated to get out into the garage and back to work.

 A few more updates before going back to work tomorrow :-(

With the help of a friend I was finally able to get the rear differential set up and installed.
Also sprockets are installed as well.

Looks great. How did you get the driveshaft flange off?

Hi Gary, I'm pretty sure I pressed it out. Gasket was obtained from Gary.

Been a while since I posted. Still patiently waiting on machine shop to finish block. Don't want to rush them... Dinadin has my bogies out getting redone, so I don't have a ton to do at the moment, otherwise I will outpace my ability to bolt things back on.
Dash has been blasted, and I'm working on filling it back up with parts. I'll have to go with the French speedo for now. I have a OEM one that will need to be rebuilt. Tach will need to be rebuilt too. Will need a faceplate for that. Of course I'm missing the volt meter too, but have the remnants of mine. I may be able to salvage part of it.
I'm also working on another little MV project on the side while I have some "down time".

Left side bogies are all mounted up. Almost ready for tracks.
Thanks to Rich Schafer for setting up the Urethane retreads. They look fantastic and should last for years!

The bogeys look good. Having the tracks on clears up some room in the shop ;D
