Sorry guys, just boring body work stuff. Not much metal work really cause the tub was clean but I don't do body work so it is in Body shop prison. Cleaning up a bunch of extra holes and some small firewall mods. I keep getting told it will be painted "next week" for the past 3 months. It is getting closer but slowly. I stop in weekly to nudge it along.

Problem is it is Winter time up here and Canada which means they are in to a lot of Insurance work. I'm not paying nearly that labour rate so I have to wait ...

I have taken some pictures. I'll get them downsized and posted over the next week. Once I get the tub back on I can get back in to the more interesting reassembly story.

I think we have something in common. I've been told it's going to get primered for the last 5 months or so.. "Body shop prison" couldn't agree more with that.

Did you ever get that T-Case bushing mounts figured out? I'll be loosing mine this Friday to remove the Transmission so I can put in a new torque converter. I can check which way they go and let you know.

Thanks but I got that squared away. Amazing that about 50/50 which way people thought they went but I found a picture I had before tear down.

Cheers.
