Have been busy lately and haven't got much done but here is what i did:
Headers (got for free out of my buddies junk yard off a camaro but still fit)
Doors and seat doors dont look much if any better than the ones i had on but they are solid and not rotted just surface rust (I really need to get rid of those stupid trim pieces and get some paint on them)
All new plugs and wires
New valve cover gaskets.
plan on doing brake lines really soon then i can put my bed back on and get a few other things buttoned up.
Here is the pic of my doors dont have a pic of my seat yet but ill get one, i have to put my dash back together yer to so i will do that in the next few days.

No problem, i usually take a good many pics of any projects i have so i can look back at it when im done.
Heres another little update.

Got some done today and snapped some more pics.
Got the floors all wrapped up and have a foam mat made for one side ready to be glued in.
Also decided what color i want to paint it, Im thinking Olive drab (OD) green.
Those are not a bunch of dents on the door just the way it looks in the pic because someone spray painted those places the only dent is the one below and to the left of the door lock but it could be fixed

Man you are sticking with it. I like to see that! We see quite a few projects get started and then they just kind of disappear. Thanks for the update - I guess us guys from the south don't realize how lucky we have it noy having to deal with the rust like that. You got it about whooped though! Excellent job!

Its been crappy and rainy out the last couple days almost a week. so its been sorta slow but i finished all the brakes. I found out that the rotors and pads and calipers were all new and not replaced to long ago so i just left them be but put new lines on.
Also got my grant wheel yesterday and my power steering works now that i put a new belt on it.
Sorta hard to tell but like i said its been raining the last week.

I think the wheel and this picture in general look pretty cool(wish i had a better quality cam this was my phone), cant wait to get my dash back in along with the new floor mat and put the radio and speakers back in.

Made some more progress, My edelbrock parts came in other than the valve covers because there on backorder.
Got the radio in and it sounds pretty good after i messed with it a lil bit.
Got the old rotted frame member cut out and im going to put some plate on it with 2 sections of 2in square tubing plated in front of and behind the new cross-member.
Its a JVC radio with two 10in kenwoods in boxes to fit behind the seat.
