I picked up my built 302 yesterday 
I will be getting it in within a few weeks. I'm not in a huge hurry since weather sucks. I'll be putting the locked up windsor away untill i can afford to build it.
I might not go to this years get together either but someone has to take pics. Maybe next year or later on this summer.

Hello there everyone, still alive and kicking. Finally got a vacation from Afghanistan, was back home and REAL busy with everything that costs money.
Got Dodge diesel fixed (OUCH) (injector pump's are real expensive), bought Penny a 99 Ford Ranger ext cab, step side, 4x4 V-6 auto. Put new 285 AT Firestones on it for her.
Bought a new Glock 19 and Ruger mini 14, drove all the way to Kc for a 79 F250 Frame with Dana 60 high pinion front axle, D60 rear, duel tank bed, extra 4 spd tranny.
Handle a mess of health issues with my Mom, Ford F350 4x4 Diesel issues on my sisters truck. Hauled horses with my Bro-inlaw, fixed fence, shot guns, wrenched a little on the 79, new fuel pump on the 77.
Drank a ton of beer, and handled all the ice/snow/cold issues one person can have. So vacation is over, back here after a 13 1/3 hour flt to Dubai + 2 1/2 to Kabul, next vacation maybe mid April.
Untill then I will try to stay in touch better. R&P

Mid april, if all goes as planned. Maybe we will have better weather and can have a FTE GTG at SMOOR ? I am looking forward to putting that D60 front axle under the 79 F250.
Maybe take it to SMOOR and gouge on it a bit? You all take it easy, Rich
