Looks like the stands should work fine Falcon! So what goes in the back now, a hot tub or a poker table?

Banquet room and casino, Dave!

So when do deliveries start??

I'm thrashin for all i'm worth, Joe! Hopefully well be looking at a down the street and back road test in a week or so. Still plenty to do but it's looking better all the time.

i`m trying my best to download that silly ice cream tune here ( turkey in the straw ) but i cant do it .. be most appropriate for your ride ..

I was thinking Van Halens version of "Ice Cream Man" would be good, too.
I made a trip to the boneyard Saturday and picked up some seat sliders from a GMC van and a pair of Jaguar seatbelts. You wouldnt believe how hard it is to find cars with black interior anymore. Everything is gray, maroon, or tan. I think the Euoropean car section had the only few cars with black in the whole 50 acre yard. I got my driveshaft back; looks like they did a good job. The original one was so small in diameter that I had to have them make a new one from scratch. I also spent a few hours yesterday finishing up my seat stands and getting one seat mounted. Also, my decals came in and they look really cool; can't wait to get them on!

Yeah, my vote goes to the Van Halen tune!!!

Yeah, me too, Dave. Hard to beat classic VH to make you feel young again. Yesterday a young guy at church wanted to show me the "old" car he just bought; an 84 Camaro! This is old?? Nice car, though. Hard to find one that hasnt been run into the ground or butchered up.
No pics today but I got my shifter done, exhaust on, and brake lines hooked up, along with having the seats finished this weekend. I'm hoping for a short road test next weekend. My wife got me a garage fan for Fathers day; it sure made it easier to work out there. We've had 95+ degrees for over a week with no signs of letting up in the near future.

Been either hot or rainy here for a couple of weeks.. Got things switched around in the garage over the weekend, so now the Ranchero is in the storage garage, and the Plymouth along with the next project are in the garage... Lots to do now....

Did you get the road test done with the van????

I'm close, Dave. I'm hoping Saturday will be the first trip down the street.

got to love VH ice cream man . i fried the ESS tower voice coils out of top drivers more then once to VH you could put some altec lansing up on the roof and some big crown drivers in the back along with 4 phase linear amps in the ice cream truck .that should make the ear wax run out of you head i know when we had this set up it would make the nails work there way out of the dry wall in the house

Now you're bringing back some memories, Pat. I had a Phase Linear 700 watt power amp I used in our band PA way back when; that thing kicked some butt!
