Thanks, I got fed up witht he prep work, glad I did though, some more parts showed up today for the motor, machine shop did however decide to double their rates so now I'm gonna be on old with the motor until I have the money for the aluminum heads I want, they somehow figure rebuilding my heads and installing the new parts I have for them is worth $800, pretty sure I can get a semi complete set of ebay for that, just another snag to get by that will positively effect the quality of the build, the extra time will be worht it to me, figuring spring 2012 now to complete unless I have a great winter

notches are in, the backs were coated with POR15 prior to install and the outers will be done along with the diff, control arms and misc other items this week. Mother forgot about my birthday in AUG and pumped $300 into my account, who knew @ 30 I still get presents, can't complain, the 5 bolt rear conversion will be on order on monday, now for some rim/tire money, parts to arrive, and some free time to get this thing rollin in the garage. Love the finish of the POR15, hardened up ad turned real glossy after a day of curing, still need a final coat and to touch up the spots the foam brushes couldn't get, but even with all the steps and prep I will use it again for sure
