Worked on the console today and make the hole very large so there would be lots of room for the shifter. Marked out where the radio is going and my jig saw blade fell off and I can't find the screw for it. Going over to a friends house to cut it out in the morning.

Cut the Mud Flaps down to the right size and did a little triming where they fit in the fenders and they look great and hang like they should!!!! clap2-* I have to pick up some thin sheet metal to reinforce the Flaps then I can bolt them on.

stay tuned whistleegi
I don't have to go to work in the morning!!

No the wrench came from a local auto parts junk
store. Tomorrow off to Sears to get a good one !!! 

Sprayed all the connections with PB again  (Taz+) 

Have all the tubing to replace everything from the T to
rear the wheels.  Just frustrating that the old stuff
won't come apart.  ?/banghea?/ ?/banghea?/ ?/banghea?/

Hacksaw sounds better all the time  9((9 9((9

cut the hole in the console yesterday and the radio fit perfectly (something going to bite me).

The speaker panels don't work at all @%&$, so I took the door panel off because I remembered there was a hole that looked like it was for speakers in each door, nada, cant put the speakers in the doors because I won't be able to put the windows down. @%&$!!!!

I'm going to mount them behind the front seats. While I have the partition out I'm also going to rewire the CB & Ham radio

I got a piece of aluminum to cut and use to reinforce the mud flaps.

Now all I'm waiting for is the parts to reseal my 1700cc engine. Opps, thats not me, I'm getting confused. Stay tuned...

Got the packing material yesterday so I can send Sonny his cup, was suppose to do that Monday.

I have to get a check from Glenn to pay for the Picnic date, should have done that Monday aalso. Q3surrender.gif

Having my first cup of coffee this morning

I don't have to go to work in the morning!!

That's why they make those fiberglass kick panels in the front with speaker cut-outs.

Finally got the right rear brake lines disconnected  clap2-* clap2-* clap2-* 

Took the old rubber line and cut it in half, was totally closed up, no wonder
that the right rear brake locked up  2@@cool

Found out what gravity brake bleed was after disconnecting the rubber line  bugey-- 

Found a Folgers can in the garage !!!   Let it run,  @#vomit 

Have all the new lines back in place on the right rear side   :jump4jo": :jump4jo": :jump4jo":

Tomorrow i will start on the left rear  censor++.gif 

Thanks Jack   any time the cups get here is just fine    :jump4jo": :jump4jo": :jump4jo":

Did you get the ones for the convertible?
They have all that extra metal on the kick panel

The VWs you can sleep in are more gooder

There are 3 kinds of people in this world, The kind that can count and the kind that can't.

J. Heard "your" parts arrived. Now all "you" need is engine pulled out. Wish I could help, but stuck on runway in North Carolina for going on hour two.  :) :).
