they are alot of fun and easier to work on. and the plus is most of the body panels are pretyy flat and easy to replace.
Can you come over and fix my flat panels?
I keep getting this guy and all he does is drink my beer and hit on my women.

Your way ahead of me.
Looking really good.
If you need some hardware you can come by the house anytime. I'll take your old bolts in exchange as long as they are salvagable.

installed the harness, correctly this time first time was just moc up. got the rear half doors on. put one side on with new seals. hooked the fresh air pull. this was a little tricky not remembering how it was. hung one of the doors. i think i might have to shim the body to make them line up right, not sure. got all the swicthes hooked up and all wiring except the cluster and the coil. wow it took me 12 hours just to do those things. not very good timing considering i cant work on it til next week again. oh well. here some pics of it coming together
