First off welcome to the site. Second, nice shop complete with lift! While it is down to bare bones you can take everything down to nothing and replace all worn out parts. Like all the bushing and such. Paint everything, dang I need a shop with room like that! Keep us up to date on it. I'll keep an eye out for more video.

Looks like you got a good project going on.
Suggest upgrade in membership so you can post as much as you want. As a junior you only get 1 post per day.

Eric, welcome to the site. I fairly new here, and I can tell you these guys know the V8 conversion upside down and backwards. Plus it looks like a good source for the required parts, too. Posting is real active, I've gotten to where I check it out several times a day. Looks like the project is coming right along, and MAN, what a nice place to do it! But please get that s-dime inside. It looks lonely out there in the snow!
