That is a shame. Similar to politics, the good ones don't want to run.

New Window Gaskets

I don't know what folks charge to replace old window gaskets, but it's not enough! I worked pretty hard getting the 1st one of 4 done last night on the pasngr side rear window. Installing the trim in the gasket was made easier with the use of 100% silicone in the grove to help it slide in. I may try that on the glass of the next one instead of soapy water, which helped but only a little

Checkin fuel system out

While checkin out the pumps I found that the front pump is toast and rear works, so a new pump is on order and I've deleted both the wiper & 3rd light, so the rear view is much easier on the eyes

Pumps & RS Door Panels

Fuel pumps are back in the car and working...front had to be replaced. I also took the old overloaded oem fuel pump fuse#6 out for pump relays 1 & 2 and instead I installed an upgraded setup to feed each pump independently via two 12ga power wires running directly from the battery to each relay with their own inline fuses.

I also got one of the two RS door panels on this weekend.

rear sway bar

I have 2 sway bars left and the smaller one looks like it will fit with oem end links, but the larger one doesn't look like it would fit w/o some mods. Since everything pretty much came in boxes with this project car I have no idea what the bigger bar came off of


They're both 20mm, so pls let me know whattcha think?

Flag refurb

My flags/side view mirrors were looking pretty bad compared to the rest of the car, so I'm painting them.
