    A little more progress!

    Well I have about finished the wiring install and put in the rear curved glass, only after the driver side cracked on the first one....a real bummer! My new rear bumper just arrived yesterday so I will only a new grill to pretty much have all new chrome....well it's on to the sliding windows, headliner then winshield etc. I do fear the install of the power windows, never tackled that before!!!

    Just recently got the side glass finished...

    Just recently finished the side glass install and am getting close to finishing up under the hood. Now I am getting ready to install the headliner which is gray along with the rest of the interior. I will be getting a new air cleaner, the one on there now is just to keep trash out of the new carb...I would like to have a set up like this last photo...
    Happy New Year Nomaders!

    Started on the Interior...

    Well, the headliner was quite the job, but I got it installed! And I am almost finished with the cargo area. I decided not to spend the big bucks on new chrome for the cargo area. So I went to Lowe's and bought $40.00 worth of angle aluminum, made my own border's and I am happy with how it is turning out....
