It's hotter than two match sticks bumping uglies in a wool sock in San Diego lately and I got tired of sitting in a bucket of my own sweat because...vinyl seats. So I grabbed some eyelets, paracord and a coupla serapes and made some seat cover uppers. Now the sweat gets soaked up!
I wrenched, replaced a few things, wrenched a little more. Scratched my head and yelled obscenities in the garage. Still in the same spot i was last week.
What manner of demonry is that!

I adjusted the valves on my engine. Kinda came full circle.
I hope you aren't starting another accidental frame off!!
You need to get some fly rod time in!!
VI, You come up with some great ideas! This is one more. No one knows there's even an aux tank because the filler door is hidden. And the passenger rear qtr stays clean and stock. Very nice.

Actually, I am taking the kids out tomorrow to cast some flies!
Pictures!!
Wanted some new wheels for a while, so decided to give alloys a go. Specs are 15x8 -24 offset. Looking at running some 4 or 6mm spacers but not sure yet.
Finally got around to finishing up my trans hump shifter boots. Made a out of 16 ga stainless steel. Took a lot longer than it should have due to the complex 3 dimensional curves. The main plate covers the enlongated holes from the original shifter positions.
Still debating powdered coat, but I kinda like the stainless look too.
I hate to admit, the main trans boot came out of a GEO Tracker.

I vote for leaving it unfinished, as long as it is work you are proud of.
If you are still interested in a side panel, I found a nice one.

My buddy did the same thing about 15 years ago. Funny thing: his was also a '74.

BTW, tell me about those temporary holddowns.
Those are called Cleco's fasteners. Used a lot in the aviation sheet metal world.
They come in different sizes and allow you to drill undersized holes while mocking up your design. I highly recommend them to anyone who's does fabrication work.
As far as the side panel: yes I still need a passenger side. I must have never saw your PM. I'll go back and have a look.
FYI, it's a 76.
Got cage and seats installed. Next up is some body trimming and sliders.
Put the finishing touches on my PTO winch today. It was a long rebuild...fighting a frozen clutch, shaft, frozen upper and lower rollers, welded bolts, etc...

I installed the wipe system and wiring into the windshield. Then I installed the windshield.
Indicator, badges, latch, apron and bonnet all went on today - as the wife said when she saw it: "it's a car!"
