i'm a woodworking junkie, so you know what i have for tools. i might have to break down and get one, but the way i see it is, the time i spend on the body i could be working and getting someone else to do it. thats probably the way i'll go.

on topic, the last of my parts came in, A/T rod extension, my winged valvecover bolts, and i picked up a new oil pressure sending unit and a filter... now some time and fluids and she'll be a go. hopefully momma stays good so i can get some time on the old girl!!

Thats kickass you got all your parts. Im anxious to hear how she runs, and how she sounds with the headers and the exhaust, it should sound good.

2wd... i'd like to build a 70's 4x4 but it's a lot cheaper to build 2wd's. got a hint on a '77 shortbox the other day... could be interesting if i look at it

setback... the kickdown rod extension was too short, i got to find an alternative or make something...

Good stuff, should be sweet sounding when you get it back,
I`ll have to do the same on the 67 Mustang, the mufflers are pretty much shot!
