Long time, no hear.....

So, I just logged back in to the forum. The last time I visited was Aug 7, 2010. WTF? I've clearly been away far too long. I remember the yahoo days and the transitions since. Glad to see it's still around and many of the names of people I recognize too.
Finally getting back on to my '66. I had a daily driver '66 that needed some freshening up. Decided to do an engine swap. Then, discovered that the stock steering and suspension were too worn to ignore so I did a frame clip. Didn't like the way the clip turned out, so I cut it back off. Scrapped the original frame to build something new. Then life happened,.....for the past 11 YEARS!!! I've carted the body of my truck through 3 moves. Wife finally told me that if I didn't do something productive with it this year, it needed to go away permanently.
I'm cleaning the garage out and collecting parts. I've got a new frame waiting at a friends house and a drivetrain sitting in a parts truck in the driveway. I'm ready to put my baby back together. I'll be back on here a little more often than every 4 years or so.
