shortbed70, you’re making me feel better about my project. I know exactly what you’re saying. A "simple engine rebuild" has turned into a nearly $6,000 overhaul. Hang in there, Buddy.

Well you know I didn't want to start the teardown to bare frame yet being now is a good time to have it up and running but when it's like this outside its hard to stop driving it just to take it apart but since I'm this far along I think its going to come all the way apart to do everything. LIST

Floor pans DR\PASS,c-notch rear,disc up front,p\s conversion,clean and paint frame, clean and paint motor along with re gasket and ad some flash,put a few more parts in trans,redo suspension. I've been debating taking it apart for another reason...I priced all the metal panels I want to fix cab and clip not alone all the body work stuff...But thats another post. Tracking spending!
