    You could say it is done but I am curently waiting for the reclining bucket seats to come back from the upolstery shop next week sometime and then I will need to pull out the bench and install the buckets. I am having them done to match the existing upolstery. Should be very nice. The seats are out of my 77 parts car as seen in my images. :yahoo:

    It's a work in progress.

    Just finished the drive train, and partway through with the small bumper swap.
    Still got a ways to go cosmetically.

    Same here. I keep finding parts to buy and things to do. I have quite a list and pile of parts for Spring time. Thats why I have the car though. Its something to tinker with that isnt over run with BS electronics that take me hours to trace down. Its my escape to simpler, better times.(y)
