    Congrats on the new project, no better feeling than bringing one home, well except for gettting it on the road.

    I vote leave the red top, looks good as it.

    lets see some dash pic's time to learn some sheetmetal skills. the thing about floorboards is they are pretty flat and covered by carpet. how were the brakes? how do you like the right and left hand threads on the wheel studs? first thing i changed on the last one i had was those left hand threaded studs.

    I will definitley be honing some metal skills with this floor.

    Brakes need some work trying to decide if I'm gonna get the scarebird kit for front discs.
