Hey Ken,

Very nice.

Can you post a better picture of the back deck?

One of the NJ guys just put round fog lights in his grill. They look great and I think they'd look good on yours too.

I was going to put fog lights in the grill when I made it but I changed my mind. These are old pictures of the back deck before I put the fasteners for the tanneau cover

Ken, now I see why your car looks so nice!

You worked many, many hours on it, and have proof!

Did you keep all of your time cards? :D

Your car is really looking good Ken. What did you use to make the heater push/pull? I want to do the same but haven't got into figuring it out yet. I like your chrome handle on the controls. :P

Thank you all for the complements. How man hours? A lot but being retired it keeps me from watching soap operas.
Brady the controls I am using now are just to get by, the cable for the heat/defrost position is so short without the consul that it really needs a side slide control, when I did my wife’s truck I used on out of a BMW and when I get around to it I will most likely do something like that or convert to vacuum controls from some other car.

Ken, did you make that rollbar yourself? That is exactly the style rollbar I would love in mine.

Thats a Miata roll bar, I have removed the top and side windows so there is more room for the wider bar, you might get it to work with a top but it would take some modification. You will still need to make a frame for it to fit on.

I like my cars to look like the originals so I set out to restore mine to look like it had when it was released way back in '73. Not a car to show but one to drive and enjoy.
