well here's today's progress.seems like a huge step backwards but one i have to make.my buddy Keith drove here this morning to lend a hand getting the engine out of my truck,Keith has a nice bronze/white 72 truck.i can't believe it but it's actually worse than i thought was even possible.the front frame section is covered in white,the brake lines,power steering hoses,trans cooler lines and gas lines,all covered.i had all that stuff off,cleaned,looking like new,painted the frame and re-installed all those hard lines,i'll have to do it all again.as well as the first table load of brackets,pulleys,battery box and everything else to clean and or repaint.the rad support,rad,shroud,even the wiring harness is painted and i have no idea how to get that paint off but i'll come up with something hopefully.then of course,the engine is a mess but that's easy.better days are coming.
