Step 1: "get the car stuck in the back yard while trying to move it because it sits to damn low.

Whoa! Those pix brought back memories of changing a clutch in the snow. Never again! You are either determined or one of those other de... words.
I wanna watch this one! Glad you're sticking with the Woodie type body. Good luck to you and keep us posted.

You gotta want it BAD to be working on a car in that shit.

Wowzers.

You, sir, are an Iron Man if ever there was one.

I must be getting old..... I refuse to wrench in a snowbank or sliding around in gravel.

But looking forward to updates.

Please tell me you did not chop the roof on a decent factory ford woodie body and you just built your own..

Glad to see you are raising it up and going for a hotrod vs a RR look.
