Looks like it's coming together nicely

Slowly but surely. Holidays rolling in, and Im waiting to order the front disc conversion. This weekend im hoping to have the brake lines fab'd up, and be done with the rear

If you aren't going to use the bag, put it up on your garage wall as a decoration :)

No more progress for a while. After blowing half my hand off, and having the follow up today, doc has put me on strict light duty. he wont allow me to even get my hands dirty. shit

Cool, look forward to seeing pics!

they will come. I ordered all bushings for the front, shocks, and king pins. Going to salvage the brakes for the time being. Should be able to start the ole 240 this week and make sure it works before yanking it out. The C4 will be taken out too, and placed on the 351 to check the compression. Then the drive line will be rebuilt to handle the new power.

Sounds like you are making progress!

btw, how's the hand healing up?

My right hand healed up nice. Nice scar, no feeling in the area that was affected. Month later I got another burn at my other job on the left hand in the palm. Same degree. Same scar, no feeling. But both hands move freely. Been trying to make as much progress as possible. Ill get some pics up this week. Wheels and tires might be ordered this week or next to set it down ready to roll
