I actually got work on the Beest this weekend. Not a huge amount of progress, but a step in the right direction. I bought a set of 15" aluminum slots for it to make me a little happier with the appearance. It doesn't quite look Joe Dirt, but I am cool with it until I get farther. The engine is 90% stripped of old paint and in the next couple weeks I'll repaint it and get it ready for install. Hopefully the Trade Fairy does me well and I can get what I need to be road worthy in the next month and a week.
Here's a couple pics.
