Gee, it's nice to know you guys missed me! Actually, I have been out-
of-state on business and just arrived home today. John was *supposed* 
to go over the valve train while I was away, but personal matters 
kept him from doing so. We plan on finishing the engine next week, 
taking our time in evaluating the rocker arm positioning and travel. 

I am still working on locating an appropriate 9" Ford rearend and 
possibly getting someone to build me a chunk. At the price the 
junkyards want for a used rearend (I suspect price fixing), I may buy 
a housing and have axles custom made. 

I made a template for the battery tray area that needs to be cut out 
of metal and welded in. Finally settled on a paint color for the car, 
and got a small spray can of it to test on the engine bay. Found a 
place that will rebuild my trans for $450 and will add the shift kit 
for another $100. 

So, not too much progress to report, plus being away, thus the 
silence. Thanks for the kind rememberance! -Lu-
