Sorry, but it won't let us see your pics without having a myspace account! You should start a photobucket account (free!), and we'll all be able to see them.

I can see them fine. Looks like you're making good progress.
I gotta agree on the shifter.
What a hack job.

I know they didn't even try to make it look some what nice. They did the same with the shifter it went from 3spd to auto and it looks like both times someone didn't know who to use a cutting torch or tape measure

reminds me of the handy work I found when I got me 68.
Like the radiator overflow can.
And the engine tie downs

That's some really nice work they did.
I really like the speaker wire
and engine mount. Some of the stuff people come up with really amazes me sometimes.
