Got some done today, cleaned and painted the engine.
Here is what it will look like, I am waiting on the gasket set to get all together.
and the new bushings for the lower links, I like these alot better than the heims.

Finally back to working on the project!
Started by cutting out the floor on the driver side and the lower post
Still have some more to do here.
Then started on sanding the hood.
Someone put alot of time into getting this hood to look nice, the whole thing has a nice skim of filler, I see no reason to go to metal here.
So I will be only taking care of the rust and leaving most of the hood how it is.

You just have the wrong springs young man.
Put a set of Deavers on that bad boy and you have a ride that rivals alot of new trucks.
Most spring rates are far too stiff to flex worth a damn or ride nice, including the stock springs.

Yeah I do wish to do some 4" deavers but I would have to wait cause I plan to buy a kit from rough country that has pretty much everything I need. The only thing I would need to change are the coils. I don't have a link on hand but when I get on my laptop I can post it.

Got another hoist this morning and got the body under the patio thing.
The two hoists sure make it nice, I can lift the body up high enough that I don't need to lay under it to work on it.
Going to work on the undercarriage tomorrow, today was kind of a clean up and organizing day.

Spent the morning on the transmission and transfer case. It got too damn hot so I called it a day.
Got the transmission assembly all sealed up, cleaned and painted.
Picking up some new engine mounts tomorrow, I will get the engine and trans on the frame Wednesday after work.
The \wife is going to the National Flute Convention so I will have some free time to spend with my first love!
