thx guys!

SpaceRider, I'll put 235/40 tires on front weather's getting better now. today about 55°F

TheMonteMan, I'm looking for a Ford 9" that maybe will be narrowed a bit. Yeas these are european lights but cracked a bad shaped. but already changed them for 1978 tails

Last week I got my engine hoist:



I think I'll go back to work on the car tomorrow. the first barn clean up this year and maybe start with the wooden body dolly. I'll keep you guys posted!
