    That is some very nice looking work Bob!

    I like how your roll cage is kept out of the way of everything. Great pictures showing it. Keep up the great work. :)

    Appreciate the comments, Roger :tiphat:

    Looks like 3 to 7 inches of heavy wet snow tomorrow. Maybe a good day to get more done on the car :xmas:

    cut and re welded the sliders i made for my seats, they sat way too high i ended up putting on my helmet and realised it hit my headliner. also took out the lower part of my dash and am contemplating making a custom centre console that will holds my coffee's and guages/stereo and still look clean without being huge or looking like it doesnt belong..but with it out i see the heater,vents, wires and random stuff...so i dont know yet.

    Tore out old headliner, cracked dash cap and put the new floor pans in. Tried adjusting the door hinges, but need a second set of hands. Tomorrow is going to be stunning weather-wish. Perfect for putting new brake shoes on.

    Cut a 2'x6" patch for my passeger door. After stripping the top half of the door and patching the door handle and lock holes, I found a large bondo patch with alot of rust when stripping the bottom half. I was so depressed about the amount of work I had in that door I was gonna scrap it, and get another door shell. But I just couldnt so I got my second wind today and made a nice patch.:)

    drove it work....and figured out that keeping oil in the motor makes the old 250 run like a dream

    Drove my car to a Halloween show for the kids - Admission, bring some candy. Lots of kids, hayrides, pumpkin decorating contest. Weather was kind of nasty, windy and some rain late in the event. Had almost 50 cars even thou the wx turned nasty - not bad considering it's their 6th. event...

    Drove my car, filled it gas, connected the Battery Tender and will drive it anytime the wx "dry" permits, no matter the month. I like driving it. :bananaman

    I installed the new "used" gas cap I bought today, on my project Grabber. They wanted 50, for a nice deluxe cap and 2 emblems, I talked them down to 40...then an hour later, I found 5 bucks on the grass.

    The dash cap overlay on ebay is an affordable way to make your dash pad look better. The best part is you can put the cap on without removing the pad.
