Good news is that I've bought almost everything I can buy; the bad news is that I've had to buy almost everthing you can buy. The only major item left is wheels and tires, but I am going to save them for last as it seems there is nothing most bodyshops like to paint more than new tires and wheels.
One of the things I have not been able to find is one adjuster for the rear brakes. Since it is a one ton, it has the 14 inch Huck brakes on it and finding most of the parts has been a cake walk. So I consider myself lucky that is the least of my problems. So if anyone has one laying around, please let me know.
I've decided to splurg on the upholstery and have the seat at the trim shop being recovered in leather. I was stunned at what they want to do upholstery work these days. When I was a young man I did time in a dealers trim shop where I learned to sew seat cover and carpets and it wasn't all that hard. I reupholsterd my car with new seat covers and carpeting and cost me less than a hundred bucks. Today that wouldn't of even covered the deposite.
I'm dying to get pictures to share. I have my camera batteries charged and take it along when I check in, but as I have said before the area where most of the work has ocurred is kinda tight and make it hard to do much shooting. But again, I'm just happy to be close to finishing and will have to wait. They say good things come to those who wait.
