What a day...
My project is moving right a long, thanks for everybody's help, and advice. I’ve learned so much, and had a blast. I can’t wait to get on the road! I'm looking forward to installing the body. What a day…
Thanks everyone…

Lol, yea I really like it with out the body, your right... Considering the unfinished body. I will be moving soon, so I will install the body for the move, then remove it once again to get some work done...

Unfortunatly the shop is not mine
Believe it or not the Air Force does have "perks." This hobbie shop is on base, it includes a piant booth too; where my frame was sprayed... They heve so much to offer, I was lucky. I want to use the lift, and heavy equipment, thats why I took it there. Besides the engine and tranny install, the rest was done in my small workspace at home.Thanks,

Body on...
Body on...
I'm moving, so I had to put the body on for transport. I'll have to take it back off and clean up the engine bay, and the underneath... Then I can set the suspension lower, and fine tune everything...
