Figured I'd give a quick update. The rear suspension has been mocked up and the rear end is back from getting the 3.73 posi. Cutting off everything related to the leaf springs ended up taking a little more time. The rear end will be soda blasted tomorrow and then painted. Once the rear end goes in they'll pull the front suspension and paint the frame.
The engine has been delayed due to weather but should be here tomorrow. The transmission arrived today - built th350 with shift kit.
Today we ordered the new hedman headers, stall converter, radiator, transmission cooler, mufflers, rpm gauge conversion, fuel pump, and a few other small items. Excited to see that 502 arrive!!
