Hello Scott,
I sorta did the same thing. Just prior to my operation in September I started a body off restore on my 1970 LT1. Two weeks after starting I had to get my back operated on. After laying around for a few weeks I started on with the project. After a couple weeks I was getting alot of pain and they scheduled my second back surgery. During lay up I found a 95 Zr1, that will easier to get in.
For now my 70 stays on the lift.
