    Thanks Collin!
    Not much new. I got sidelined last August with a ruptured appendix and subsequent infection that laid me out for a couple months. By the time I was feeling better, I got hit with all the bills from it.
    I did finally get my rear sway bar on last weekend. A 1" Addco, and matches the front 1 1/4" one I have on. I've always loved the way the look hanging below the rear end.

    My next project is to convert to a floor shifter. I also have a set of 1970 heads to put on to replace the 1976 heads. Already have the valve job done, and I'm hoping to put them on later this fall after the summer driving season.
    My next big project after that is either having my rear converted to a posi unit, or trying to score a 8.5" posi unit to swap in.

    Very nice Eric! :TU: I just saw your thread and read through it. Keep up the great work. It's something to be proud of and it doesn't hurt on those nice warm days that you can drop the top and get the thumbs up from the old and young alike. I started on mine when I was around 20 and I'm (hate to say it) 51 now. It was a demolished wreck and I don't think I will ever be done but I could never bear to part with it.
