    Getting the ball rolling

    I have finally "got the ball rolling". I paid the deposit for deluxe pallet kit a month or so ago and I have finally ironed out most of the major decisions and passed them on to the Weavers. I am real excited to be moving forward. I do need to know if you guys have any advice for getting ready for the day things are delivered to my house. Tools I'll need, do's and don'ts, advice for being prepared. These things will also help to keep me busy as I wait. Oh, by the way, engine is bought. I will be painting locally and installing drivetrain myself. Although I haven't purchased it yet, I am going to buy TKO 600 transmission. Ok guys, I am sure I will get to know you guys more and more as this project gets going.
