Update...

On the "underhaul" of my '68 vert. Goal is to *never* have to re-visit the
undercarrage in my personal lifetime.

All research and procurement is finally done. About 3k spent in total.
Another $500 on interior fix up parts.

Car will be *all* new underneath from the transmission tail seal back and
from the steering box forward. It's iether getting replaced if it moves - or
blasted and painted if "static".
Going from 3.08 to 3.70 in the rear end. (even made $200 buying and selling
pumpkins!)

Rebuilt the master cylinder and replacing the rest of the brakes - SS lines
too.

I've been sandblasting about 2 hours a day... shower and then painting what
I blasted.
Don't envision any "final assembly" in the rear to begin for about a month.

I need to stay focused on the small areas..... if I look at the big picture
I get overwhelmed.
For now... the rear, next the front, then the brakes, then the interior,
sound, and top.

Budget will not support paint on this round... but soon..........

Have you been taking pictures as you go? I always like to see what
folks do that I don't have the patience for...

Do you want polite or do you want sincere?
