got a couple of cool tools coming too Mel, so maybe I can get on that rear piece you want after i finish the kick panel

Sounds good I have a few sketches I'll send you of some ideas I had.... I picked up some material today but I didn't have the sample with me and I think I got the wrong color :evil: I'll be back on that side of town tomorrow so I'll get another yard of the right color and send it out tomorrow

I had the same exact car, same year, color and all!
Years ago I got caught going through a snowstorm (8") in North Carolina on my way to Daytona Bike week. They're snow removal equipment consisted of dropping tons of salt (Not plowing) on Route 95. Three months later the car started rotting out.
One day at a stoplight I took off quickly and the transmission cross-member split in half (Rot) and the tailshaft dragged on the ground, and then the yoke came out....Oil everywhere, plus a $50.00 towing bill..... sh*t happens!

That sucks!!! fortunately this car will never see snow here in Phoenix. I plan on driving it to Madison Wisconsin after I get the 5.3 LS engine installed to visit my sister but I'll be sure to make that trip in the summer

Started cleaning up the wiring under the dash, here is the first video. I have more footage I just need to edit it and upload it to youtube. Big thanks to my bro Jerry Aka DmonChild for coming through and teaching Warren and I how to properly wire/re-wire up our rides.

I think it would have been easier if I would have just purchased an aftermarket harness because i'm not using to much of the factory one. Send me you email address in a pm and i'll get you some good pictures of the shifter and mount.... I'll be looking out for updates on your wiring as well...


Update #2 of my re-wire
