Winter Plans For Your C Body

I’m surprised you sold it. Didn’t you only have it for a year or 2?

Yes. Only 2 years. It was a very difficult decision to make, believe me!
What made it a lot more palatable was the fact that it was going to a great guy that will take care of it and appreciates it. I don't think I ever would have just put it out there on eBay or CL.
It's a great feeling to know that the car will be cared for!
 
Got a change in plans, need to figure out when I'm going to pick up a new toy!

I must say I was a bit surprised... after you had just done so much to her and missed bringing her to Carlisle, I figured she was with you to stay.

Congrats Doc, you got a good one, now I really have to bug you to bring her to PA in July so I can finally see her.

Super stoked that I fixed my wiper switch and now all of my electrical systems work. I gotta say, the Ron Francis wiring kit I ordered though was not what I had hoped. It was good, but not great. If I ever need to do it again, I think I might build it myself. I ended up relying more on the original wiring diagram than RF's.

Only thing left is to attach the old Y pipe so I can drive it down to Lou's Custom Exhaust here in Concord, NH and get a dual installed. The wife and I are planning on heading down to Carlisle for my first time, so looking forward to a weekend trip for that.

Way to go. Looking forward to meeting you.
 
The BoaB is In storage for now.
But I have a list of things to do
-pull instrument cluster (AGAIN) fuel gauge and speedo not working.plus NOS clock works when it wants to so it going to get quartz movement conversion .
- Put manual seat track back in..Why? P.Seat frame is TOO Tall. I bonked my head a few times and the armrest on the door is too low not even with center arm rest height. No tilt column and the wheel is literally in my lap.
- Finish installing the rest of the trim.
- Get some driving time in and work out any bugs before the BoaB world tour!!
- Re-install trunk weatherstripping.
 
I tore out my interior, blasted the metal parts and re-painted them. Painted the plastic parts. Sound deadened the entire interior and installed new carpet. Waiting on new material for the seats{not SMS). Took out the old sagging cardboard headliner and bought a one piece vinyl headliner. I looked into getting the seat belts re-done.....HOLY COW!!! Snake Oyl wants around $1100 for 8 sets of seat belts!! Anyone know of anybody else?? Except for those, I'm on track to be driving by April. Next year is paint

Hey Markus, we don't have any C body belts pictures but I do have an early B Body. They are pretty much the same except some of the belt lengths
