Easy killer I don’t take stuff in my ass......I don’t have a death wedge lol:D

Yea. That is an 'EXIT', not an entrance. If I took stuff like that serious I'd have died from stress a long time ago. We're cool and will drink to that. Matter of fact, I'll drink one for you too since you're not here.

I love that grille. I think they are the best looking of the era.

I like the bumper guards and the brush guard. It's like wearing a belt and suspenders.

A lotta good that brush bar did preventing that rabid tumbleweed from puncturing my radiator!

If you're like me and have no butt, you need that belt and suspenders.

Justin Wilson, the cajun chef was a belt and suspenders man. Probably Red Green was too.
I miss Justin. They should have reruns of his shows. Beats the heck out of some of these cooking shows on now IMHO.
But boy did I jump the track. DUH!

I need to get new tires and have some aluminum rims that I need to clean the bead on first. Plan is to go with stock 31x10.5-15. Not knobby, just streetable. I don't need to beat on it for a while.

Gonna go to hydraboost brakes. Got a new OEM tailgate to install. Plan to do a rewire system where there are relays in the back for the window motor so the main power doesn't go thru the switch.

I've got new seals for the vent windows to install. Got to rebuild the power window motors and the power lock motors. Wire in the dual battery relay, redress the under hood wiring, change out the A/C compressor and get the AC going. Replace the sheetmetal over the rear wheel wells.
Drop the fuel tank...PO WELDED a cage around it. Go figure. Align the doors, fenders and hood and fix the rear bumper.

I've rebuilt the HVAC inside, changed out the Ammeter to a Volt Gauge and got the Oil Pressure Gauge right. And rebuild the steering column. PLUS, the previously mentioned bushings and shock absorbers. Change out the headers, feed the hogs, do my taxes...

Perhaps by then, paint. And I may just pour a can over it. Call me goofy but at least it'll be a one-of-a-kind.

He was a good ol'boy!

Your project seems like a big undertaking but one piece at a time as they say. I look forward to seeing the progress.
