I still have a pile of body parts to load on my trailer, but the bulk of it is out of the shop!

I would prefer to sell it. Not a lot wrong with it. It took over half of a can of Body-B-Gone to have a clean shop again! I have someone pinging on me to sell him the drivetrain, so we will see where that goes. He has a 6 cyl in his truck, and was asking if the V8 and 5 speed trans would fit? I have no clue, so I sent him a link to this website.

The 6.2L LS3 isn't actually a hemi. But it will be a beast, for sure! My cousin is a whip cracker. She has kept me moving with very little time for rest. Kind of like the energizer bunny. So here is where we ended today.

The mobile sand blaster is coming to my house the week after this week. Back to a bare steel frame. I had no idea we would get this far in only two days! The air tools are working great. I am still finding that I need this tool, or that tool, so I am making another shopping list. The fuel system and rear four link suspension will finally ge me back to where I was when the building burned. I also need to box in the frame rails again to be fully caught up.
