    well, got completely tore down over the winter and we picked up a parts truck with some upgrades, so hopefully by the end of the summer she'll be finally bagged and driving with no more leaky floor pans and a 5speed. shooting for paint by next summer, maybe some interior... all depends on the money... pictures to follow in the next couple days...

    Cool deal. If you wanna add another switch to the dash in that right area by the fan switch, a 2nd wiper or fan switch works nicely. I have a wiper switch there for my airhorn. Nobody thinks to mess with stock looking stuff.
