As we speak
It's happening as we speak. It's crappy outside, about 45. dark and still rainning. But no Tornado's so far. Tim and I are hoping to have fluids drained today, maybe have somethings unhooked/off.
Lee/2fords may be over tomorrow afternoon sometime. Have a neighbor checking on barrowing a cherry picker from a buddy of his.
If all goes really well. I'd like to have the other engine on the stand, and donor in the truck.

Alright then, get with it so you can drive it to the FTE G2G. Like some folks say, it ain't happening unless there's picture's.
Tim, keep an eye on your dad, don't let him get in too much of a hurry, haha.

I see you got Tim doing all the work, while you take pictures, LOL Hope you got "NoMoreKabluie" up and running.
See I do need your push guard bumper setup to hopefully put on the new Ol Blue.
Should look at it on the 20th and hope to buy her same day.

I got the garage door back up today, So i can now lock my garage again after 3 month. Had to take parts from both doors to make one door work. The other door is held up with clamps and dose not open. But my tools and ford truck parts are safe again.

Hey Ches, Have you treind the Home depot web site, they have a how to section Or www.hgtv.com. I don't know for sure if they would have the info. you need. But it's worth a shot.
I had a friend that installed doors, but he ripped me off so I don't call him a friend anymore. I can give you his number, but he likes to charge shop prices, to do any work.

HAPPY EASTER
It's so funny watching the kids run around the house looking for the eggs we hid last night. they loved the new flip flops they got for Easter.
Has any one heard from Terry? His last post was on 3-31.

It's in
Well it would have been nice if we were able to complete our project yesterday.But we did get done what I was atleast hoping for. The donor engine is set in, tranny, torque converter starter, motor mounts all in and tight.
Rainning again today, so we should be able to finish everything up by next weekend weather permitting.
Lee thanks again for coming out and dealling with me.
