Another amazing contribution arrived yesterday! A couple weeks ago I was e-mailing back and forth with LuMarkHood about engines I might use and then he sent an e-mail that simply asked, “Silver or gold 15x8"s?” Yesterday I had two large, cube shaped boxes on my porch.

I was expecting some wheels off of a parts car. I would have been happy with them in fact. But what he sent are absolutely unbelievable!




When I unpacked the first one I was afraid I might drop it and scar it up. These things are going to really make it look good!

Larry, I have the seat belts in my Jeep and ready to ship, I just need to get some time away from work during the week to drop them off.

We're you interested in my fender flares and air dam on my '75?

Hey, thanks Rich!

I am, but I don't have the money for them right now. I think there was someone else though too wasn't there?

Made some progress. Had a lot of extra hands helping.









It was mostly just little stuff to come off. But there’s a nice little pile of parts on the floor now, including the hood and trunk lid. It’s a good start. And it kept Eric busy and happy. lol  He did cut some wires a little shorter than I would have liked, but I’m thinking I’m going to be replacing the components they go to anyway. Next will be the front clip and dash/column.

Larry,

Just wanted to let you know that I went down to ship the seat belts to you and noticed that one of the clips is missing from the bag.  So, I'll look for it this weekend so I can send everything at once.  If, for some odd reason, I can't find it, do you still want the other pieces?

Are you talking about the clip that attaches to the upper corner of the seat? I'm sure I can find one if you can't locate it.

No, the actual female part of the seat belt that attaches to the tranny hump.

I have all sorts of filenames on my computer that are formatted in the 4.3 DOS naming convention, does that help?

Hey,
Congrats on the wheels!  They'll be a nice finishing touch for the car!  Great to see that you've done more work to the car!  Way to go!

I love the pic...my most favorite two types of cars under one roof!...lol! 

Keep up the good work!
