Ok so I'm building a parking spot next to my shed for the car. going 17x9 feet digging down and putting in 4 inch's of stone. Got started last weekend, hope to get done soon. As soon as it gets finished, the car is going up on jack stands. Order of work for this summer- Drop gas tank and rear, as new rear will be ready any day now. wire wheel/ black cookie the under side of the floors/frame, floor repair, repaint and use truck bed liner on bottom of floor. When I install the new rear replacing all rear suspension, that should take me a little. Once that is done, front suspension is next, also have a new B-body master cylinder, prop valve, and stainless pre-formed front line kit from inline tube. Going to be a good summer for the car. hope I make some progress.
 
Here is the spot laid out and my helper!

rear and suspension are out! Starting to degrease the under carriage due to both a pinion seal and output shaft seal on the transmission. Going to scuff, seam seal and paint the underside. Have a little hole in the floor to patch. Still have to paint the new rear, finish boxing control arms. Hope to get that done by the end of summer.
