Motor is in. Headers are on. Starter is on. Carb is almost 100% on. Still to be done: New 4 core radiator needs to be bolted up and plumbed in. Little bit of wiring Fire it up, and if it runs, straight to the exhaust shop to get the pipes re-routed and bunch of little welding jobs taken care of. Wire up new gauge cluster (Oil pressure, water temp, and voltage), mounted on the bottom of the dash just to the pass side of the shifter Needs a new rear drive shaft (or the one that's on there extended) and possibly a new front shaft. Bleed the brakes Throw some primer and a top coat on the cowl & windshield frame rust to get me through the road trip. I'll fix it properly later. Throw on the new weather-stripping to keep the butt-ass cold Colorado air on the outside. I need to come up with something to seal the space between the top of the tailgate and the bottom of the rear window on the hard top. New set of BFG ATs 33x12.5. I'd get Mud Terrains to better handle the snow and ice but they never last long and the road noise is freakin' unbearable. Pick up set of chains for said new tires. Stop at Circuit City or Best Buy to have a cheap stereo installed Make damn sure the heater works

PENCIL FULL OF LEAD : PAOLO NUTINI I’ve got a sheet for my bed and a pillow for my head; I’ve got a pencil full of lead; and some water for my throat I’ve got buttons for my coat; and sails on my boat So much more than I needed before I got money in the meter and a two bar heater Now it’s getting hotter; Oh it’s only getting sweeter I got legs on my chair and a head full of hair Pot and a pan And some shoes on my feet; I got a shelf full of books and most of my teeth A few pairs of socks and a door with a lock; I got food in my belly and a license for my telly And nothing’s gonna bring me down I got a nice guitar and tyres on my car I got most of the means; and scripts for the scenes I’m out and about, so I’m in with a shout I got a fair bit of chat but better than that Food in my belly and a license for my telly and nothing's going to bring me down Nothing’s gonna bring me down But best of all (best of all) I’ve got my baby She’s mighty fine and says she’s all mine And nothing’s going to bring me down Best of all I've got my baby She's mighty fine and says she's all mine And nothing's going to bring me down Not today...no, no
