Don't know about anyone else but I'm over the winter weather here in the midwest. I'm real ashamed to admit that, I haven't much more than touched any of my stuff since before Xmas. A combination of this crappy weather and averaging about 60 or so hours a week at work, just don't have the drive to come home and work in a "cold" building. I do have heaters but going to work at 5:30 or so and getting home between 5:30-6 in the evening, by the time I get the shop warmed up, take care of home jobs and eat, it's time to get some shuteye and start again! UGH!!
We have gotten some parts and pieces acquired thru selling off old parts and trading/wheeling dealing other old hobby stuff. Thanks to a Craigslist ad, found a set of 15x3 4 lug front wheels. Found a few other things thru Ebay, Racing Junk and other websites forums. Found a pair of 15x8 4 lug ConvoPro wheels, an MSD distributor and an Moroso WP. Got our 4:62 rear end assembled and ready. Just need to get the rear pulled apart and get it installed. Can get started on the traction bars at that time as well. For the price of a roadtrip to Kentucky and a (very) small outlay of cash, we found another set of heads and a 2 barrel intake for a 1977 engine, gives us the option of moving back a year if necessary. Add to that trip we also got a box full of SBF parts and pieces, always need parts and pieces, especially when we started this with nothing for Fords. A buddy of mine found a C-4 manual valve body that he had purchased and never used from an old project. Told me come get it. He's also an Autolite carburetor wiz, offered to help get the 2 barrel squared away when we get to that point. I guess things are falling into place. Just no real dirty hands work.
