Well I got the exhaust put on today and sounds great so I took it for a 3 mile drive to dads. Still needs lost of work but it felt good to get it out and on the road. Winter things to complete include rear gearing swap, complete interior installation, 4 shock replacement, Sway bar installation, spreader bar installation, wiper completion with vacuum system completion,Trailing arm rebuild. Looks like I have enough to stay busy! Here's a pic from today:

Looking good, Rod! Getting it out if only for a few hours should keep you motivated to keep going on the project! You're coming down the home streach! Hope your Dad is doing OK!
