Congrats!! Looks like a real nice car! I'd drive it as is, but with your business it will be a great calling card to have on it what you sell! Look forward to see "Part Deux" come together!

We will be driving it for a while! Stupid little things like the 30yr old radio shake $20 radio is junk, we just happen to have a RetroSound Model Two with Bluetooth Wireless streaming audio in stock, that will be going in ASAP as there are already a set of kick panel speakers in the car we can run for now.

The new Convertible top hoses are going in right now so that will be nice.

I will start driving it today and slowly order things like the power windows, Dakota Digital VHX dash, Vintage Air, ect so I can get things mocked up.

The foam in the seat is shot so I need to decide on bench or buckets...

Right now, i am thinking buckets with TMI foam and covers, i just need to find some power tracks... I like power EVERYTHING!!!

We are trying to keep the car as "off the shelf" built as possible, once again to showcase what can be built by our average customer with an average skill set and wallet!!
