This still doesn't change my plans. I'm still doing the crate engine, wiring, 5 lug swap, drop, and FLEET BED, but I'm trying to be realistic on my timeline.
My job has become quite demanding (I've worked 6 of the past 8 weekends) and I need to finish quite a few projects around the house before a lot of my family (like 10 people) come down for Thanksgiving from NY. I have a camper I'm renovating to sell and some interior home projects to finish, then I'm pushing my firebird out of the garage
to do the engine swap and build the fleet bed.
My immediate plans are to spend another weekend or so "prettying" up the truck. I ordered a new back window and seal, so I plan on respraying the top next weekend (it looks terrible now!) I bought a set of 65 fender emblems, cab divider trim, CST nose trim (plan to respray the nose white too), CST door emblem, and a few other little things, just to finish up the "cool" factor so I can work on the other stuff for a while.
But hey... at least my Mustang is DONE! That thing took up A LOT of my time the past 2 years!
