I almost went to ECE or McGaullys for my parts. McGaullys at the time did not list prices, just the parts. ECE was my first choice, but then I tried to put a kit together and save money. All I did was cause myself frustration.

But you learn from the first project, and talking to each other on how to and how not to do.

Re: SoCal checkin' in

This is the mess thats under my paint. Driver door.
Using airplane striper, I pealed away first the bondo, then primer to see the bare metal. Like pealing off house paint.

I think I am going to keep that seat. I'll let you have the 69's seat if you want. It is not as nice but you might want it, it's black in color. If, I can score some nice comfertable bucket seat's, then I'll part with the bench you see pictured.
I plan on keeping the gauges with tach for my 69.
Oh, I had back surgery last Feb. so if you want the 69's bench you gotta pull yourself while I drink a beer and make fun of you getting dirty, ha-ha.
Maybe you and JhonOro can stop by when I tow the 69 over and help me push it in place in my driveway? I might try and tow the 69 tomorrow.
We'll see.

I along with probably most of the people here might not mind City of Industry, but you need to post a few dates, time and on a Sat or Sun.

Re: SoCal checkin' in

Well, my truck finally made it home. Vince here is the bench.

As, you can see, nothing special. I noticed a small tear/hole in the passenger side seat. The truck has been sitting for quite a while and the interior is a little musty. You might want to come and give it the sniffer test. I think it will be o.k. once cleaned and aired out. You got my cell # Vince call me when you want to come check it out. I have tools just bring your truck in case you want it. Now, I'm off to do a project and build thread.
