I got the frame notch cut, bolted on the oil pan, and the motor is in to stay barring any unforeseen issues. Once I get everything bolted back on the motor I’ll start cleaning up the suspension and putting it back together.

Thanks! nothing picture worthy going on, just cleaning up little parts and bolting them back on the engine. Should have the trans back in place this weekend and start on cleaning up the suspension for reassembly.

You're about a mover ( from some 60's song, I think). I like the vintage engine too.

Bob, if I can build them half as fast as you, I'll consider that a major accomplishment.[[[

Got a fair amount done this week. Just about everything is bolted on the engine, trans is in, and one side of the suspension has new a-arm bushings and ball joints. Got a lot of late hours at work this coming week so probably won’t get back on it until next weekend.

Thanks, that’s what I’m going for. Not a full resto, just a good balance of vintage and modern parts to make a reliable ride that’ll handle some road trips without breaking down.

I got the front end finished up this evening; looks like a clear path to the rack connection for the steering shaft hookup. Should be doing steering column and start figuring out the pedals this weekend.
