After the show was over, a bunch of us hit the cruise on Valley Mills and had some burn out contests and a few street races.

Thanks, I miss that show and the cruising on Valley Mills.
No real progress here. I think that I got the motor mount issue resolved, but need to do a little gringing on some welds before checking fit up. I believe that it will be fine.
Next is working on the brake lines again. I and going to use braided lines from the MC to the frame mounted hard lines. I got the idea from my 2004 Express Van. That is what the factory did more or less.
Right now my wife and I are discussing a shop. Do I build or rent. I might end up renting one with a buddy who needs to get out of a bad situation he is in with another guy. We are going to work on a 63 Panel together anyway so a shop together would be a great situation. I am working on a deal for a 40x60 very near my house and he is working on a 40x40 that would be a short drive for both of us, but possibly a lot less money for his. My neighborhood has some restrictions on shop buildings and the city has my lot as requiring an 8' set back from ANY property line and that puts it taking up to much of my pie shaped lot.
Anyway, I will get something done once my foot is recovered from surgery. Should be one more week before I can put a shoe back on it.
