this is mostly for the benefit of those who were at the BBQ and have a
bit of background on my project. for those out of the loop, I'm in the
midst of swapping a D60 rear (which may actually be a Sterling 10.25")
and D44HD front under my '98 CC.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

finished cleaning up the right side frame

dropped the transmission crossmember and have a plan for it's
replacement.

took apart the locking hubs and got them working again, I think. I
wouldn't be surprised if they seize up again, in which case some Warns
will be procured. That'd keep the F word off my truck too -- but I'll
wait 'till I'm done with other things before worrying about hubs.

parts run first thing tomorrow morning that will hopefully secure me a
set of brakes, some coil buckets and a new evil cardan-based thing
breaker =) along with $300 more headroom on my Visa.

hopefully I can mostly get my new trans crossmember built tomorrow, and
order joints for my steering and suspension links.

ttyl,
