    Rod,
    So what's the deal with that driver's side rocker panel? Is that a storage compartment?

    Dan

    Thanks guys! There is some rust, more than the 100 and the parts PU.
    It was also patched old-school style (poorly). It may get fixed later.
    Yes, that's a lighter, and it works! This one has no radio, although there is an antenna and wires hanging down from a previous install. They didn't hack the dash though.
    That is a storage compartment. It's not very big, just enough space for a jack and some tools. That will be the first body work repair, along with the vent hole in the roof. I'll put in another vent.
    I'd really like to find a pair of solid side doors for it.

    The rug on the floor in front is a 2 dollar garage sale item I just picked up. It may go in here with some cuts to fit around the pedals, it may go in the cart for the MATS. I'm suprised everything works, even the lighter and horn.
    I'll start a post over in the showcase for this one too.

    It's been fun driving it the past few days. No issues aside from a low top speed!
    I don't know what seats they are, a friend said they look like Dodge Daytona (the FWD one, not the pointy winged one!).
    They are bolted to the wheelwell and just resting on the doghouse!
    They are also too tall for me. It's one of the things I need to rework.
