Well I should be driving her soon. Got the new lifters installed got rid of the MP garbage ones. Corrected the timing issue was popping out the intake on all cylinders. Got the new windsheild installed. Just have to install the seats w/ the corrected seat brackets and drain the old gas out been siiting at least a year and put fresh in. Not sure if I want to tackle the headliner my self or have a shop reinstall it for me.

I know what you mean about the headliner. I'm going to
try and hope I don't mess anything up,if I'm not happy with it
then I'll have to take it to a pro.

Man what an improvement having the timing set perfectly can make. Went up the mountain to Prescott and discovered a big improvement in gas mileage. It used to take 3/4 of a tank to get up to Prescott, now it only takes 1/2 a tank. The new seats feel wonderful. My digital camera died so I won't have any pics when I finish the interior. Have to put in the headliner, sail panels and sunvisors.
