Yes I am. Not really looking forward to it. I will need lots of help, it's been 4 years ago March I tore it apart.
 
I still need to get the vinyl top on also.
 
Didn't have much time last night but I did get the rear seat divider trimmed for the mini tubs.

Something about a interstate or Wal-mart battery in these cars doesn't look cool to me.

well I'm pushing forward with the ac system. I had to cut some of the length off of the stud for the 22 to 26 radiator brackets I made. It was interfering with the condenser bracket.

I drilled a second hole in the bracket to move it up a bit, then clearance the bracket for the opening.

I put some rubber on the back side of the brackets to keep it from rubbing & squeaking. Straightened all the fins and touched up the paint.

I moved the condenser up a little so the bottom bracket needed moved up also. I had a couple aluminum spacers I made to move up the condenser bracket.

I also put some airflow holes in the bracket while I was at it. Straightened some fins and touch up painted everything.

The upper pass. side bolt hole was covered by the horn relay. So I used a buttonhead Allen screw for that bracket.

I started taking inventory of the fittings I'm going to need for the ac lines. This is a great tool to have in your box. It will tell you how many threads per inch a fitting or bolt has. And rule out metric hardware.
 
Just ordered my AC fittings & hose from Cold Hose of florida. 6 fittings & hose for 120$. They have a " reduced barrier hose" that isn't as big and bulky. Also bends easier. Hope to have all the stuff by next weekend, and on by the following week.
 
Just got off the phone with Jake from Viking shocks. He found me a front shock that has a little longer stroke and a little shorter compressed length. Should be just right for what I want. James at PST hooked me up. Love this group!
 
Through PST with FBBO discount. 611 for 4. See the thread in suspension.
