I think I'm going to install the body lift next weekend, and then hopefully the new engine will be ready to go in the weekend after that. I'm hoping the body lift will make putting the new engine in go easier, especially the early steps involving the engine-bellhousing bolts.

I could probably use a helping hand or two if anyone wants to come over. On the other hand, if somehow a bunch of people show up, please don't feel offended if I do something like declare that a specific 2 or 3 people are helpers and everyone else should just stand around drinking beer. I've worked on projects before where 8 people get involved, and after a couple hours nobody has any idea what parts are done, and something important falls apart later because everyone thinks someone else torqued that down.

I'll see what I can do but me and weekends are hard to come by. Maybe later Sat night depending how long you work on the project. But if you remember mine, it wont take two days to do it.

It looks like this is going to get rescheduled for the following weekend (March 3-4). The work on the truck is bogging down, partly due to paying work leaning on me to put in more hours.

I'm working two contracts, and each of them thinks I'm spending more hours at the other one when in reality I've only been working about 6 hours a day, which is plenty as far as I'm concerned. But one of them is leaning on me to put more hours in to meet a product deadline, I may even have to work a bit this weekend to catch up.

Besides, it's gonna be cold and snowy this weekend, and I still don't have good heat in the garage.

I'll be up in Firestone for another fire arms class on the 3rd and then shooting @ Cherry Creek (weather permitting) on the 4th so that puts me out...sorry.

I should be available that weekend- never done a body lift, but I can probably be there.
