    it is an easy oversight. He doesn't really advertise. But it seems he doesn't have to.

    we'll see. I still have the headliner and trunk interior to finish after this. Then the side glass. then hopefully, get everything replated and polished. Everything is either rebuilt or new except the motor. I was told it was a low mileage motor. So i just took it apart, checked it out, made sure it was ok and replaced the gaskets while I was in it. Hell, even the wipers will have new components soon. I expect a good amount. That I will say.
