hehe, the hold up is my truck is at my parents house right now, and I'm across the river at my apartment w/o a truck to get to my truck or even a car. >.< even my cute scooter is not here (broke the drive belt last year >.<) *sigh* have to wait until I get picked up before I can work on her maybe Wednesday or Thursday.

I will try that western :)

Sounds like you need a boat, then you'll be set since you already have a truck, car, and a two wheeled vehicle.

     You are plugging away just as good as most of us are, keep going and you'll have it all done pretty quick.

double check that speedo cable. It's easy to put it together and not have the cable inserted correctly at the transmission

If you're looking for tunes on the cheap, you can score an am/fm at the junkyard for $20

If you cant find a working radio at the junk yard, and are willing to spend a little more money, there are decks that look stock, but are top notch on technology inside, some even have MP3 or iPod hookups.

Good work, sounds like you've made a lot of progress so far.  Projects like yours are a lot more fun when there's some meaning to them.
