    Wasnt me guys. But you waited too long, I'd watch craigslist for a guy parting out the car, without a title there isnt much he can do with it except make a race car. Or he may go through the bonded title process. Might be worth it if its not rusted out. Maybe he will join up or speak up if it was one of the guys here.

    There are more Mav guys in town then we know of. Somebody stripped down the parts I wanted off the 76 4 door at Ecology and knew what they were taking. But I dont think it was anybody I know of.

    this weekend I finally hooked up the remote reservoir for the clutch, last piece of the hydraulic puzzle. mounted the master cylinder and started bleeding the system.

    then today I finally found the mysterious fitting I wanted but didnt think they made that would let me do the reservoir line the way I want. Now Im going to take out the line I had and make a new one the right way, or atleast the way i want it done for good.

    It was a short feeling of accomplishment. Now I get to take a step back and then forward again. But will be much better end result. I knew I shouldnt have rushed this.

    Theres a big difference in taking out a 10" hose and changing a fitting, and takinf a whole car down to bare metal. But it may be interesting to see whe is back up and running first.

    Ok that will cover the bucket seats. Just need to get 19 more $500 parts sold and we can strip it down and resto can have the shell. Sure will be easier than finishing this last clutch hose.

    I think youre already parting it out. I got the Nitrous and the AOD with all the fixxins:rofl2:


    I found a Local guy to narrow my 9" and respine the axles.

    pretty much parting it out. IN the last few months Ive removed: AOD and all conversion stuff, power bucket seats, electric fuel pump and all fuel system parts and gauge, rear seat and rear surrounds.

    Still on the list to remove is the power window kit, alarm system, extra relays and wiring. Downsizing and simplifying things takes longer than adding and modifying.
