    my project has picked up the pace a bit lately and I hope to have it a roller shortly and then onto bodywork and mods.

    questions looking for input and suggestions-
    - steering column length and brand (auto with shifter)
    -split bench 60/40 or similar with console/flip seat make OR a bought seat and frame?
    -heat/air setup
    -door latches and inside handle? altman latches likely without exterior handles
    -where did you put the fuse box? I am thinking behind rear seat as the fuel tank is gone
    -E brake kit?

    so an update..... progress did slow due to life/health...... I did get it to roller status. it is off jack stands and on its own tires (on roller dolleys) for the first time in a decade
    . motor/transmission installed, now just need to install front end accesorries and top of motor.

    brake and fuel lines need installed

    Thanks for the update. I understand life/health, I haven't been able to hardly a thing since late December due to my busted rib. Just now starting to feel a bit normal.

    ribs-
    some chuckle when they hear a complaint on ribs hurting....... until they themselves break one!
    heal well and take your time.
