Hey Guys,
FYI. Got a restoration guide from someone on the PYI forum. I already looked up the radio number and the radio I won on ebay is correct. Yes....now I've got to find out if it works.....

See------you're turning into an expert already. A few more treasure hunts, a few more skinned knuckles, some more rust in your eyes, and you'll be the Guru!! Good luck with the roof/paint/etc.

You should've seen me yesterday! I ran out to my car to pick up my emblems, and just had to see if there was a speaker under the dash. Of course I was dressed in black and had a doctor's appointment a half an hour later. I found the speaker and was just laying there on the floor pans checking out the brackets and such. I got totally covered in rust, dust and whatever other items that were there on the floorboards. We haven't really cleaned them up yet for it'll just have to be done again after the roof arrives on tuesday. I brought all my light housings home to polish and paint including the taillights, reverse lights, and console. I'm getting pretty excited. I'm taking all my trim to Canada on Monday. They seemed to be the fastest turnaround and around the same price as taking it to Seattle. It's closer, so the difference in price will be made up in gas.....

HAH! I KNEW you'd be under that dash. Whenever I find myself in a hard-to-get-into position like that, I too like to lay there, flashlight in mouth, and ponder all of the neat and complex stuff that I never get to SEE!!! Good to see you're on the right track. I used fine polishing compound on my tail lights, followed by plastic polish (got it at NAPA) . Worked great on the old lenses. Toothpaste works, too. One piece at a time, like a huge model kit, and you'll have it DONE. (I still haven't learned to wear goggles/glasses when I'm under the dash or chassis......!!)

GOGGLES. (You just never know what you'll encounter---nothing like being prepaired!)
