    In the past month I completely tore down my delivery for final build and paint. I painted the chassis about 2 weeks ago, and have been making fair progress ever since. My son and I put the engine and trans in tuesday night, and I too today off for a good 3 day build weekend. Well I got the blower and accessories on today, plan to run trans lines, heater hoses, plugs wires and fuel lines tomorrow. And hopefully get the radiator out, I plan to polish the top tank, putting on an electric fan, and overflow tank, sunday I hope to put in all fluids and leak check. This week after work I will try and get the exhaust ran at least to the mufflers. I'm hopeing to hear it run, tune it in and check tranny shifting Easter weekend.

    Dang - now I have to go work on mine! Looking good. Do you have the wood for the body - it looks to be missing some? Do you have all the Sedan Delivery specific parts and what is the final look you are after - color, wheels etc? The chassis looks really nice - I am running a similar setup but with a Ford 5.0/AOD and 8.8 rear....
