GMC Update
Tonight I had two helpers in the garage: David M. and Dwayne "Mr. Goodwrench" W.
We did a little work on the battery box. It was previously held together with parts of a clothes hanger and miscellaneous bits of wire. Now it is held together by a couple of well placed but amateurish welds. We are getting better, slowly.
Besides the battery box welding, we also installed the radiator support and hung the front fenders. I say hung because they are each being held on by 4 bolts apiece. There are still many bolts left to install but four is enough to keep them in place. The radiator is in also.
The next trip to the part store will be to retrieve heater hoses. Hopefully that will be the last of the required parts before I can cruise up and down the driveway.
Oh yeah, just for fun we cranked it again tonight. Thirty more seconds of run time.

COOL!
At $2.40 a gallon, It'll only cost you about $300 and a week's pay to drive the GM-Whatever to Austin this summer. Then you can work your magic on the 68.
By the way, be sure to load the welder and engine hoist, so that you get the best gas mileage possible.
And take your time on that battery box. Because I need one next. Mine is a piece of rotten wood, held on with bailing wire and rope!
