I don't even know if I would say "worked out" but yeah, it was not too long ago.... All would not be wasted though, the 4L80 would/will go into my ramp truck which needs an OD anyway.

It would probably be cheaper to change cars.... One of these days I'll run out of things to do with this one and be forced to start on something new. Hopefully we'll be in a new house by then and have room for more projects!!

I still haven't touched the LS world just yet

Well... it sure seems to pay for your "addiction." Looks like I should have studied accounting in college instead of business management.

Looking good, I know it takes some work to get them to that point. Been there and done that. A while back I found add on craigslist in our area of a guy who has a mobile polishing business doing semi truck rims. Came out and did my pickup wheels for $80 for all four. I think they look better then when I purchase them new. Turned out to be a great option.

Today I got home early from work and decided to head over to work on the car. Got all of my deluxe seat belts installed in the car finally. And built a temporary link between the spindles to hold the wheels straight. (I haven't yet reinstalled the steering box and drag link.)

Not much progress, but It was another thing on my list that needed to be done. Going to spend some time with my folks, then head home.

Yesterday afternoon the transport service finally picked up the '66 wagon I sold a few weeks ago...born and raised in NC now heading north to NJ...poor thing.

Bought new wheels and tires for the '72. I hate Cragar SS wheels.
