What's going on?

How have you all been? Does anyone have any cool builds/conversions going on? I've got 3 or so conversions lined up currently but they aren't all Chevrolets. First I have a 1999 Dakota to put a 12 valve into this winter. I have a 69 D100 to put one in, and finally maybe my wife's 72 suburban. I need to find a shop to rent again. Oh, and get a time machine or stop watch.

Any of you get any covid breaks to where you had a lot of time to do any more builds??

I'm gathering parts to start my build.

1992 Dodge W250 4x4 donor truck
5.9 Cummins with rotary valve
518 Automatic transmission & transfercase
Dana 60 front & Dana 70? rear with 3.54 gears
P-Pump off 1995 Cummins
47RH rebuilt transmission from 1994 Dodge 4x4
Block spacer for transmission
Rob Bonney Frame Boxing kit & Motor Mount kits

Still sourcing springs - probably Alcan springs but figuring out spring rates

etc etc

Not a conversion, but I picked up a 1988 V30 crew cab with a 6.2 that I'm trying to get running. I'm about to remove the IP for a rebuild.
