Well here is a list of things I have done so far on my 65. Let me know if I have left out something.

Changed the rear end to 8" with new drums
new driveshaft
T-5 tranny
new 302
changed the steering
the springs and shocks
v8 spindles and drums (discs to come later)
5 lug wheels and tires
new v8 radiator

engine and tranny mounts, and a driveshaft come to mind.

PS: and your engine bay better be paintd up purdy, I don't want to have to come out there :D
 
yup engine and tranny are both in so the mounts are there.....I think :rolleyes:

The drive shaft is going in tomorrow.

I'm going to paint the bay this winter when I pull everything out again. Its not bad, just needs a good cleaning but there is a few spots, and I'm anal so I need to redue it :D but hey if your going to pull my engine and paint it for me come on down :nice:
