    Here's my toy. Had it for years and blew a head gasket and parked it. A few years and a couple of kids later I'm back to getting her going again. Lots of new parts and elbow grease. Should be ready by the weekend.

    Thanks guys. I'm in Las Cruces. The last of my parts came in today and I got a lot of cleaning done and still a lot ahead of me. Upgrading the stock carb with a Weber 32/36 and the stock cam with a little higher duration cam. Lots of new gaskets, hoses, and wiring. Still need some little things like a rear sliding window, driver for regulator, 5pt harnesses, windshield, stereo (mine was stolen) and whatever else I come upon

    20160216_160335.jpg got some interior work to do. Need a new dash cap, need to clean up the steering wheel and install a horn, need new shifter boots. And I'm thinking of making new door panels

    Yeah a pressure wash should do wonders. Looks hella good so far.
