Default Finally! a little progress....

I was on my back for the last 5-6 months...On and off, but never "on" long or well enough to permit working on the car without having to stay in bed for 2 weeks if i did....I TRIED IT!!! Beleive it when people tell you health is the most important thing in life (My Doctor had signed me a paper to consult in for surgery... Man am i glad i'm better. Still, i have to be carefull, but whew! Not going thru that....yet.)

Anyway, tought i'd update for those who care;

I removed the housing and suspension today, that free'd some space to test the wheels!!! I think it looks ok.... :-)






I also recently got Hooker ceramic headers and swap mounts, Edelbrock/MSD 6LS to drive my 6.0L , a Moroso fabbed oil pan, also, a T-56 and firewall bracket are now in the garage next to the engine awaiting their turn.

Since i removed the suspension today, i will be able to test fit the Air bar later this week too, looking forward to that!

After that, i will take final measures to have my 12 bolt shortened and rebuilt, and i'm getting ready to order SC&C A-arms and bags for the front.

I've just finished (Today) repairing the inner rocker (Driver side) as it was all rottened up (Inner only, not the lip (pinch weld) from sitting so long i guess the other side's floor and rocker are like new and virgin, go figure!?) And i'm going to replace the floorpan on that side too before next week.

After that, its going to the sandblaster for the whole underside and a colour matched liner will be applied on its return.

Then, REBUILD!!!

It sure is nice to be able to work on it again, i was beginning to think i was never going to get back at this. Hey, seems patiences does pay off!

'Later,

Lead.
