No real progress yet, had to have 2 teeth surgically removed and work has been busy. Im putting the manifolds back on tomorrow after work then going to drive it on Sunday to torch off the rear bumper. Im going to take my son to the wrecking yard this weekend so......

To start, I scrolled through all 137 pages in the last 2 days and have to say, for a newbie like myself... there is ALOT of useful info on this board. I found quite a bit of info on the questions that I'm going to ask, but they were on older posts so I wanted to hear opinions since some time has pas...

Ok guys... another question. I need a drivers patch for the floor pan, who sells good aftermarket patch panels for this?

Thats what I needed...... thanks for the help. Im sure ill have quite a few more questions as time goes on
