A Little Bit of Work at Long Last

Well, slowly, but surely, I've gotten something done on the Mistress. I've had little time and less money now that summer is here and it really started to get me down. I thought about it some and decided that I was going to try and cheer up and get what I could done with as little money as possible. Sure, I'd like to Herculine the frame, but I can afford Rustoleum. I'd like to powder blast the frame and body, but I can't afford to, but I can afford wire wheels on my cordless drill and so that's how I'm approaching this now. I'm just starting with small parts like the brake pedal arm below, but I hope to move onto beginning with the frame as soon as I can figure a creative idea to get the engine block out without a cherry picker. I have the come-along in the rafters, but I doubt that it would be enough and I'd hate to put that much weight on the rafters besides. Any creative ideas? I'm thinking about lifting out the transfer and tranny by hand (I hope...) and then unbolting the motor mounts after supporting the engine on blocks. Next I think that I could support the front of the frame on jack stands while I unbolt the front axle, remove it and lower it around the engine. Then to get the frame lifted over the engine and voila, an f-head on the ground! We'll see how that goes.
