rear end crackage

Hi Guys,
Thought I'd better pop in and at least say hi! I know it's been a while, but I have been swamped trying to keep the business open, and poor Dusty has taken a back seat! She's running good, although she has her hiccups every once in a while first thing in the morning. I've got almost the entire exterior painted, except the piece that is just between the front bumper and grate. Then I can think about the inside. She's got a leak somewhere in the near the front dash. If I place my left foot where I'm most comfortable near the brake, it gets wet when it's raining! And this morning I noticed the newspaper I had behind the drivers seat is soaking wet. Hmmm.

The main trouble I'm having now is hoses for the heater/defroster. The holes are all different sizes. The two on the bottom that exhert the air are 2" and 2 1/4" and the ones on the dash for the other end of the hose are 2 1/2". The store here has hoses that are all the same size on both ends, so Duct tape is currently my friend! But it keeps falling out of the dash, so I'm currently handling that end of the hose by hand. This morning I had to pull over just to defrost the window!! lol
And, of course, she still has no reverse. But I've gotten so used to that by now, it's second nature for me to find that right parking space!! Hopefully, this summer, I can work a bit more on the body. What I'd really like to find next would be a dash, as the one in her now is severely cracked all over.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know that I'm still alive and well!! Much love, Cricket
