Haven't done much. Last week we installed the intake manifold, but thats it.

My grandfather and I area taking over a local autoshop. I plan to work my *** off almost everyday while I'm there, but I also plan to bring the '68 down and dedicate at least one day a week to it, with a lift, air, lights, heat, etc.

So we should make more progress quickly. I take the shop over on the 16th....

Just finished moving the business to a new location.

There has been some theft at the property last week, so I'm busting my @$$ to finish two other space-hoging projects at work, and hopefully bring the truck in next week. Then we'll be able to work on it every Thursday/Friday again.

I expect major, major progress as soon as we get the truck into the shop. I think I need maybe a month to get the truck running, and then my grandfather can figure out what he wants to do with the truck bed.

Truck is here now.

Still need to go get a truckload of parts, but I'm clearing shelf space in my stockroom to keep it all in.

It sure is nice to have it here. People ask questions all the time.... It gets attention.

Progress!

A few small updates...

This picture inspires me...



The seats we are putting into it. Much larger we thought, but a good fit...




Gonna hook this all up too
