Do you have a pic of the interior with the passenger door open? I'm curious how you got the checker plate bent around that sharp end at the end of the dash.

Thanks. How thick was the diamond plate? Was it really hard to bend it to that shape?

several new parts, plug wires. alternator, replacement pedal pads, dome light, tail pipes, stock tail lights, sport bumper, added a extra courtesy lamp, redid the gauge cluster, now I can read the gear indicator and indicator lights,  and got the back up lights to work for the first time  in 3 years

Looks good! I need to get a new dome light cover. I was digging under my dash last week and found my courtesy light ha. Figured the PO hacked it.
