Stripped, and por-15'd my D60 and battery tray for the '69. Will be installed tomorrow, truck will be rolled out of the garage for the first time in forever, and the 360 and c6 will be installed. Going to be exciting..

I bent the draglink or that rod that goes to the other knuckle. I attacked a rock at the local dunes. Now my steering wheel isn't centered.

I haven't actually worked on mine lately but I have been buying a bunch of parts (for the engine swap). In the last month I bought:
Camshaft, rear sump oil pan, HV oil pump, valve springs, torque converter, MSD 6AL box and coil, Holley 110GPH fuel pump. It's nice when the UPS guy knocks on the door.
I'll be ordering my Ford Performance tachometer, Comp stainless steel roller rockers and transmission overhaul kit before the month is up.

Today I connected the turn signal lights that are on my hood scoop to work with the blinkers, it’s really cool to see them blink on your hood. I also fixed the cargo light switch along with grounding the cargo light to the courtesy light. I must have forgotten to do it when I got all the wiring put in. It works inside with the red indicator and out side as well, and it looks like a winner.
