Thanks man, I got a few things done over the past week or so.

When I got it the turn signal lever was missing so I pulled the steering wheel the other day and discovered that the white plastic piece that rotates when you turn the lever was cracked into 3-4 pieces. I pulled a spare replacement off of an old turn signal switch I had laying around (the reason I don't throw anything away) and bolted it right up. I bolted up a new lever I had laying around and everything worked perfect. SCORE!!!

I also got a good deal on a radio delete plate on ebay. It showed up in the mail yesterday so I took it to the shop and blasted it and put it in red primer. I decided to make a backer plate just slightly bigger than the delete plate and use Velcro to mate the radio delete and the backer to keep it in the hole without any modification to the giant hole the PO made in the dash. I think it looks a ton better.

That's all for now, I am about to order a new fuel sending unit, temp sending unit, license plate lamp, and some small pieces for the interior. I am also trying to track down an OG NP205 shift knob and some hardware for the rear hatch so I can ditch the bungee chord. I'm getting ready to wrap up here at the office and hit the road to Pigeon Forge for the weekend, if you guys are our there make sure to stop in and say hi!
