Todays interior pics as it will sit over the winter. Pillar repair(s). New floor. Everything from under the seat forward is all new.
Horn will wait till next year. You see the interior is close, needs some more attention.
I have driven it on uneven and up and down hills for quite awhile now and no shifts at any repairs I did. Drives good. Feels like little play
in the steering.
Next year , some under dash welding that needs done there where I married the new pillar.
This year I will level the body as the left side is low about 3/4 inch.
When I took the body off, it had a fair number of those thick square body shims. I kept them but still ordered new hard rubber ones
that I might mix with the old.
$30 for the seats. Not sure what year or model but they fit well.Comfy too.
Engine as of today with some things different. Instead of the copper tubing for the VAC /wiper, I had
a pre bent SS tubing from a pickup tube and put the RAD support to firewall rod in. Other broke.
Feel good about what all I got done this year after the wife left, 3 nights in the ICU staying alive and busting my behind working on this thing.
