Project on hold

OK I just got threatened with Painnnnnn when I signed onto the forums if I don't post something so here goes. My 68 F-100 resto is on hold while I save some money for my next big projects and while I am in school. I have done the ps conversion, the headlight relays, new shocks, sway bar, and a complete tune up on my dads old daily driver. I think my next step will be the power disc conversion but note sure if I should go with the new setup or a donor, my time is limited for junkard window shopping so I might go with the new kit. Still wondering what to do about the tranny, I have the old 4 speed with the low gears and my engine whines at about 60. Probably do the bushings, tranny, and brakes at the same time.

Last step will be body/paint/interior, has anyone used the fiberglass fenders or doors? I am thinking about going that route because its hard to find the old fords for donors in Denver.

That is all for now, I'm sure you will hear more from me when I get going on the truck again.
