In case no one has figured it out, project is on hold for a bit. Wanted to get down and dirty during the warm months, but I'm just not getting the parts together even HALF as fast as I'd hoped. SOO, going to go buy a DD this coming weekend (I think, got a couple Rangers and an S10 to look at, though), then I'm gonna find a house with a shop/garage. I have no chance of getting things tight enough to go into the desert in 6 weeks, so I'll just concentrate on getting what I need together.

Hopefully have a house with space soon, then I can just tear this SOB down to the frame. Be easier, faster, and much less annoying than trying to work on it while it's also a DD.
