Hello from iraq!

first off, i have no oldie to wrench on right now..why you ask. because i am currently deployed to al asad, iraq with regimental combat team-5. with is lead by the mighty 5th Marine Regiment, the most decorated unit in the USMC.
we are coming to an end of a 13 month tour and i can not wait to get back to my 1950 chevy deluxe!
i have been on e-bay and craigslist buying parts and having my old lady put them nice and neat on my work bench in the garage.
we will get a 30 day leave period (vacation) once we get back, and i plan on spending at least 80% of it on the fifty...
i may post questions to all of you out there from time to time, as from what i have seen so far, there are some very, very talented people in this community.
we have a DOD wide ban on USB ports, so that means no pictures to post, but once i get back i will put some up of what i have done so far.
the fifty has been media-blasted, primerd, inner/outer rockers replaced, smooth firewall, all floor panels have also been replaced. we have body dropped it 4"-5", i have a mustang II w/bags, and a camaro rear end w/bags yet to be installed.
power windows, shaved door handles/trunk/emblems, 56 olds headlight rings, 53 chrysler tail lights.
wide whites and hubcaps...
sounds good, but that is what the end state will be.
