49' Patina bagged in PA

[99 to Life]

9-28 Ok, well fall is in full effect and flying by wow. In a hurry to get some stuff in epoxy and painted bf it gets too cold. Speaking of, I got some single stage gold paint, will be for the dash, some interior and rims. We'll see how it goes, got white for interior too. dash should be in epoxy hopefully this week, then highbuild, sealer and paint. Going to be working on my custom gauges as well, will be keeping stock look, but instead of buying new gauge panels, I'm going to make my own and color coordinate them with the dash. I'm planning on making the speedo a tach. Also found some good vinyl suppliers, so I'll be ordering that too. Going to make some custom interior pieces myself and probably have a professional do my seat.

Got some 2600 lb airlifts off of dave aka 98layinframe, thanks for the hookup. Also got a bunch of tubing and a piece of 18g sheet metal for 84 bucks today, should be enough to all my mounts and work with my floor framing and start some patches with. Was going to buy all the DOM tubing and make my 3 link, and still will but do to time and welder, I'm going to get a bolt on link kit again from dave. It will be the same concept as I'd be building from scratch. I'm getting it for a really good deal compared to the 1200 new it sells for. Should be ordering bag cups and control arms soon as well, had these belltech drop spindles for a minute, should be able to lay this out no problem and hoping with minimal rear notch.

put the engine on the back burner for a minute, just trying to get stuff in primer and paint bf weather hits. I'm basically waiting on cam and timing gear bf I can really button things up. then I'll need waterpump, oilpump, pan, pullies, alt, and pws bracket, still got to paint it too.
