Thanks for the support guys! It truly helps me keep motivated on the project. As it stands right now, i'm trying to set a goal of having a running car by christmas. Not sure how far along i'll get with that goal, but i'm going for it anyway.
The engine is painted now, the front suspension is going back together, and after receiving shackles and hangers from megaparts (thx for the reco anlauto) i'm happy to report that the rear end is in the car, kinda. Upon tightening the u-bolts some of the threads stripped, so after sandblasting and painting those, they'll still get replaced with new ones. Lesson learned. I also got some goodies from right stuff and got my front to rear brake line installed and the lines on the rear end from the drums to the block. I started installing my emergency brake line kit from them too, which i'm extremely excited about the quality of... very nice looking upgrade.
Next up is getting this beauty queen back on her feet, finishing up installing the brake system components, painting the bell housing, tranny, and driveshaft, and getting everything married up.
