well, i havnt got as much done as i would have liked, i got tasked out with a surprise detail at work, and things are actually just settling down.
i did get the rear half of the frame sprayed with rust bullet, and the trans/T-case is removed. I repaired the bent up drivers side frame horn by cutting a wedge out and bending it back out straight, then welding in a new wedge... and built a new drivers front body mount to replace the mangled one. Thankfully the rest of the frame appears to be pretty straight, so i should be good there.
Money is the big hold up at the moment but taxes are due in, so i should get rolling on some parts soon. im gonna order my raptor spray in bedliner, and get started on my cage, and try to get the body finished and completely assembled. Ifi can borrow a engine stand from somebody and get the engine out, then i should be able to finish spraying the frame and get it ready for reassembly. the plan sounds simple, but we will see how it all pans out. college is demanding a lot of off duty time right now...
ill post up some pics this weekend, just havnt had time to get out the camera yet...
