Don't worry about brother, god watches all and justice get's served eventually. Try not to stress about who or why they did it. Carma exists and it will come back and kick you in the ass.

and a few more. Now i couldn't get the wing windows completely removed but since i wasn't replacing the felt fuzzies and rubber it didn't matter too much.

Thanks guys just replaced the drivers mirror but they only had one in stock and i ordered the other it will be in tommorrow morning.

Yup sure feels good to get it back together.

********Update******

Just got the other mirror on. and they are both adjusted and look to run in the stock holes. Someone had some bolt on peep mirors before or the bolted them on anyways.

Next will be radio wiring and colum /wheel change.

Mondays junk yard find.
Complete with good cancelors for the turns and a light up PRND21 Indicator. Just wish the bulb was not behind the wheel but in the back of the little cover that goes over the Prend21.

No new pics yet But i have my 77 cruise control wheel in my 72 And it looks so pretty it went right in and fits perfectly. now i need to rewire it and for all who are thinking of this swap remember to change out the firewall seal for a 67-72 as the 73-79 mount slightly higher up.

Also you will need to slightly adjust the Automatic linkage as its off by about 5/16-1/2" Didn't actualy measure just eyeballed it.

Easily done though as you only need to adjust it at the transmission end and thats just two nuts.

Keep working away, it sounds like you are making some good progress.

Thank you. Now to just get the other sides freeze plugs removed and replaced they checked out when i pressure tested the sytem but once i started it up the same plug on the oposite side started leaking.
