It's going well. I've just been assembling odds and ends for my exterior before I take it to paint and body. I'm waiting on ebodell to score me some bumper brackets and then I'll order my rear bumper. That's about all I'm lacking.

Thanks for checking on me.

Got the front end back together. New bumper, new headlamp bezels, and upper/lower grille molding. I also cleaned and polished up the original stock grille and put it back on the truck. As soon as I get a hold of the barrel nuts I am putting the F O R D back across the front of the hood. Pics coming.

I've been around. Kind of hit the pause button on this thing while selling my house. Also, I'm waiting to see if someone has the brackets for the non-step rear bumper like he thinks he has before I put a bumper on the back. Then I can finally get the darn thing painted. Right now I'm kind of enjoying driving it around with the ugly paint and the brand new shiny Cragar's!
