Update time.....
Engine is pretty much together from oil pan to valve covers. Everything is painted and the intake is powder coated to match.
The transmission has been gone through (great shape throughout now with new seals and gaskets). I'm going to put the Saginaw back in for this year and transplant a nascar 5-spd unit next year.
I took the (original) rad to get cleaned and checked out and its toast. I'm waiting for the price to have it recored.
My bodyman came over last week and is working on a price to do my rockers, cab corners, patch the front fenders..... Hopefully I'll be flatbedding it over that way soon to let him have his way with it.
Progress is slow but going well.
