BMAC 100-series 'build' thread

[Katascopos]

Okay, this is really more of a maintain and upgrade thread than a build thread since the prior owner (and fellow member) did a beautiful job building her before he moved on up to a 200 series. The cruiser was in great shape when I picked her up in Houston in 2020 but the list is starting to get longer and the memories cloudier so trying to get a few things down here to keep track. Here she is on an early drive in the NC mountains.

Thanks! Sorry to miss your note last time I was on. Not DJ. Lindbergh area...

Forgot until I just saw an update from reznunt about having a hidden console vault in stock that I also had fun welding one of those into the truck a few years ago.
