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

Am I missing something?

yup engine and tranny are both in so the mounts are there.....I think

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 but hey if your going to pull my engine and paint it for me come on down
