Woody on its first taco run. This one's for @Spike Strip, Woodman Ave and Woodman Pl near the Copart. Pollo looks legit. Picking up some jute under padding from Vic's.
Pollos Al Carbon ! Sketchy, but I've been there! 
I bought a 1st Gen Isuzu Trooper from that Copart, many years ago -- They burned me with a bad head-gasket!
Truck looks great. I see an H55 in your future!
What's Vic's ?

Vic's Auto Upholstery. Great spot to get raw materials for interiors. Been a minute since I've been over here, last time was for the BMW project.
The H55 has crossed my mind more than a few times... need to shake this down a bit more and think on which one to keep, the 60 or 62.

You HAVE to wheel the 60 with the H42 before you seriously consider a 5 speed. Anything less and you’re just part of the hive mentality.
Btw, I’ve got a pair of Pioneer 6x9s for you in the driveway.

Not really unfortunately. I had the BMW seats done by a guy who specializes in them down in SD. I'm probably taking the 60 down to these guys for the headliner, they are primarily an upholstery shop though. Literally around the corner from the LKQ in Sun Valley - Elite Custom
Love it and thank you!! They are going to a good home. Yeah - the H55 has to be down the list because it's just $$$ as all get out and I need to pace myself. Plus I don't really mind the slow yet, I do mind the no AC in 95* valley heat (shopping for R12 lol) and what sounds like an exhaust leak, but I can't quite tell if it's that or just noisy. And the engine mounts. And the smell. And....You HAVE to wheel the 60 with the H42 before you seriously consider a 5 speed. Anything less and you’re just part of the hive mentality.

Well, I can’t help you with the R12, but for your headliner project I could donate some…

I've got like half a can of R12 still hooked up to a gauge. If you're interested PM me, happy to sell ya the whole setup cheap.

Spent some time with the audio situation this afternoon. I'm trying to keep this as low-buck as possible for now, so found the old Pioneer head unit that came with the 40 and installed that. Has a nice retro look to it, but it's radio / cassette only, which is fine. Wiring was a bit weird with a 5-wire setup and shared grounds for the front, but made it happen. There isn't a ton of room behind the dash to get a hand up there. Also ran constant + direct from the battery rather than try to find one to tap in the dash, just wasn't feeling it today.
I ended up using the Cruiserhead @ChaserFJ60 bracket, easy install and nice product. Very glad I didn't have to pull the dash for this.
Next up is replacing the speakers. Everything is wired, just ran out of time for the day. Also my antenna is super janky - I need to replace it but what I have is fine for now.
