Progress from this weekend:

Looks like you have a pretty solid truck to work with. Deciding on a color has been the hardest part for me personally. Have you made your mind up yet on a color? I really like the brandy wine.

WOW, so it has been a long time since I posted an update on here. After an ugly divorce and a radical relocation, I am finally getting back to it. Since the last pic, I cut the frame down for the shortbed conversion, C notched my frame with a half pipe, built a 352 with a mild cam, incorporated two square tubes in the middle of the trans crossmember for the exhaust, installed a mustang rear gas tank, got the CV front end installed, along with the Explorer rear end. I even painted the interior and the jambs before the $#*t hit the fan. BTW, the final color choice landed on champagne interior and roof, with the rest of the truck moonlight blue. I just got new brake line material in so I am ready to run new lines, along with the fuel lines. The bed still needs to get cut down soon (I have marked it) and it installed too. But at least I have cleaned out my garage enough to work on it now. Now, I just need to review the posting of pic process...

Glad you are back at the truck.
