Ha ha, thanks. All those years of working on airplanes makes a fella real precise.

Got the bucket seats installed and will fab up a bar behind the seats to bolt the shoulder straps too. Last weekend I transferred all the windows out of the blue truck and put in the black one. Also pulled out all the AC/heat ducts and cleaned them out. And switched all the controls over. Who would have thought that the vacuum hose size changed from 1984 to 1986...

Also ordered a rear shifter and a dashpad today as well.

Will most likely put the front clip back on this weekend, after I finish plumbing the front brake lines.

The target date is still early Aug for completion and shakedown. Already registered for LS fest in Sept.

Will post up some more pics when I get the chance.
