Thanks for the warm welcome, guys. You all are great.

I am going to have a million questions, I bet.

So far I have ordered all the manuals (owner's, shop (both of them), assembly, and wiring). I also ordered bumper bolts and I am going to pull both bumpers, try to straighten them out a bit, sand them and paint them white, they look out of place.

I looked under it a bit more and discovered the V8 conversion does not have any welds, motor mounts are bolted in with 4 grade 8 bolts, powerglide is on a crossmember also bolted in. That's nice as I don't have to worry about questionable welding.

Definitely going to get it running first then go from there. Brakes, motor wiring and plumbing, driver door won't shut, got to fix that, then see what happens.
