Stopped at a local car show this morning, was able to get some more minor things done since last post but am looking forward to getting my new seat and getting it installed next. Still figuring out what to do with doors, I want to use the factory style panels from the 5star but had to swap out my doors for ones in better shape but not 5 star... might try my hand at doing my own in the meantime.

After a few tanks had been spent I got around to rechecking things, and I can see why things go more wrong when people skip that...
so far I found both engine mount bolts, the trans kickdown bracket nut, and 3 nuts on the rear axle u-bolts loosened....
Probably going to be spending the day looking for more, but it just goes to show these things don't really ever get "finished" until they are scrap.

yellow plug wires finally bugged me enough to do something, will eventually go back and shorten a wire or 2 to clean it up.
Spent some time under the truck checking fittings, line routing, etc.
Still trying to convince myself I need to spend the money on a drop axle, and take on the rear axle changeout.
