    I have been working on the tin woody lately. I removed the closed drive line and installed a S10 4x4 rear end and a borgwarner T-5 transmission. What a difference! It is going to be a fun car to beat around in. I still have a lot of minor things to repair as it has suffered from neglect the last few years. I want to get it mechanically solid, then start working on all the dents and scratches that it has. All it takes is Time, Money, and Commitment. Mostly money.

    Several problems actually,

    TIME: I have the time to work on the projects, that translates to not working 2 or 3 jobs any longer.

    MONEY: Not working as much translates into not having as much disposable income.

    COMMITMENT: At 63 years old, I am only half as strong, and have half drive I used to have.

    The good part is that I am still on this side of the grass and having fun doing what I can.
