Zen,
It is awful when you have company come over and all they do is talk and not help........it was good to see you on Friday and your house is cool but not as cool as your car.

Thank got I have a mig welder.

Finally got the exhaust on yesterday. Took it back to the shop that bent it for me Friday, then it was too long. So they sliced it and expanded one end so they would slide together. I put the whole thing together, aligned it all, then welded the pipe back together.

Installed and wired the alt and fan, and the fan shroud, then proceeded to strip the shaft for the alt while installing the fan belt, nice thing to screw up a $250 alt. Have to swap out the old one tomorrow.

It's 5 steps from completion. I'm shooting for Wed if I can get the engine tin stripped and painted.

. i have that back suspension ready to come out. just have to remove axles, spring plates and trailing arm mount. then will start fitting the new one. looking to put my cup brace in at the same time. hence the welding comment. if you still feel like a road trip let me know. i am working on it through the month and will probably take a week off late Jan early Feb to finish this thing up.

dave, oil cooler is going to have to move.

We can move it or fab new plates(shock tower) to mount the brace or both. With that big shoe-horn and some grease, we WILL get it in.
