Re: '58 grocery getter

Thanks for the compliments and congratulations. Kids are awesome, but I must admit that I forgot about the sleep loss in the infant stages! I have seen your build Dan, looks like you jumped in with both feet! Zeeba is my buddy's shepherd, she's always trying to photo bomb, my truck is at his place here in Fallbrook. He's been coaching me, as this is my first engine swap. I picked up the driveshaft today after work but didn't install it. I spent most of my time installing the Lokar shifter, it took much longer than I expected. To be honest, I'm not sure if I'm going to be happy with the floor mounted shifter, seems to flex the pan quite a bit. For now it's going to stay, I'm trying to get everything done so I can drive it straight to the muffler shop and then home. I'm anxious to get it back in my garage where I can work on the other things at my leisure. Here's some "before" pics from today, I forgot to take "after" pics, I'll snap some tomorrow.
