Back is feeling better so got all the necessary items ordered that will be needed to mate the tranny and engine. Most items are coming from Summit Racing. Looks like UPS will deliver them sometime tomorrow. I spent some time yesterday tapping out all the bolt holes in the block so it will be ready to go when it gets hooked up to the tranny
Meanwhile, Lyle Peterson gave me a set of rear bumper brackets to use. My goal for today was to make them look better. They were pretty rusty but with a grinder and sandblaster they cleaned up pretty good. They had a lot of rust pitting but ground most of that out. You can see the before and after in the picture. I just gave them a shot of primer and will paint them Gloss black later tonight. I'll get some half inch bolts tomorrow and see how they look on the frame.
If all goes well, the engine and tranny should be in the frame by next week.
Whoody Ha.
By the way, It tried to snow today. Didn't stick, but it's too soon for that stuff.
