My Tater, Is just sitting. UGH I hate cold weather and holidays.

The transmission and driveshafts are FINALLY in.

That part of the project was the biggest bitch. I'd be lying to myself if I thought any of the rest of it is going to be any easier...

My 2K project is well on to 7K now

In case you want to be a cool kid... Here's the list so far.

Seats are finished. :) Hopefully somewhere I find the pivot brackets for the seats. I thought they were on the seats, but I didn't get them back with the seats. So, they're either at Dale Morris Enterprises floating around (I'll have to call Dale) Or they're in Mike's garage (I'll have to get a hold of Mike)

My hands are in a lot of cookie jars at the moment. I'm spread way to crazy. I'll get there. Hopefully.

Wheel caps... I wonder if they'll work

Seat Pivot Brackets.. Hopefully some mother fucker has mine.

Seat Belts

Temp Control

Brake Cables.. I'm still unsure which one got cut

All things Wiper related

Here's the progress on the seats I know you're dying to see photos of something








4 years and slow progress.

 September 3 this year was Mine & Taters 4 year anniversary. We all know she & I are slow but progressive. I decided to have a photo...
