You are gettin' close
Now to complete car, all the above, exhaust, back glass, front bumper, lights on the bumper. That is about it. Fan.....Was supposed to get drive shaft back from Oceanside driveline yesterday, did not. So maybe today? Then radiator needs to go in, some fuel line and filter, some hoses, fluid in Trans and Overdrive, and ready to fire up. I think......O, and newest issue was brake line to short, waiting on longer on as well.......bleed brakes again...
Nope. LOL. Sidetracked. Decided to fit my new seatcover better. Took the chrome "V' emblem off it. Was concerned that the plastic backer would be wearing on my real upholstery under it that I am trying to protect. Also routed the straps under the plastic side covers. Fits pretty good now. Tough to get a good pic in the sun…Start working?
So I have to ask, why are you protecting the upholstery? Saving it for? The next guy who buys the car used? Not me, I will sit in the nice new seats that I paid for. That is me tho.....Nope. LOL.

I pretty much agree with you. But I work in a print shop. Coming home with ink on my clothes is a very likely possibility. Only put on driver seat.So I have to ask, why are you protecting the upholstery? Saving it for? The next guy who buys the car used? Not me, I will sit in the nice new seats that I paid for.

That I get....Thanks....I pretty much agree with you. But I work in a print shop. Coming home with ink on my clothes is a very likely possibility. Only put on driver seat.
Just asking. Do you have the tools to set that up? ie pinion depth guage and dial test indicator to check backlash ?

i have an extra set of clothes if i really get messy. the problem is most days I am not that dirty, so normally don't get changed. But could have ink on me and not realize it. had a close call last week with a little splatter of black on side of my shirt. Luckily caught it.Same here. Far too many foreign objects from rock farm and asphalt plant to wear back to the pickup.

I got caught in my skivies many times making the change from the "go to work" clothes to the "work" clothes.
Made no sense to lock the office door that just led to a curious face pressed up against the window glass
I do have the tools but I don't have to because I'm not changing anything in the rear axle today I might change to the 323is later but that's a complete set so I don't need to do the backlashJust asking.

Makes me wonder if the rat pack boys played part in that,being so far up hollywood’s butt.So I have to point this out and wonder out loud here.
right now, actress and female singers and other female celebrities are coming out, saying they were raped, 10,15,20,40 years ago etc. I don’t know if all these are true, but dang if so, just how disgusting is Hollywood and is it really that many, or are there hundreds, thousands or more out there. Just crazy
Unfortunately is was all about the "casting couch". And it still is.....Makes me wonder if the rat pack boys played part in that,being so far up hollywood’s butt.
Or his lack of technique...but his technique caused them both to self release.
Ordered front anti sway bar setup from classic.....Free shipping.....BUT they still ding you 17.00 for expedited handling...
Might work. I used a bar for an f150 on an a body one time...Looking at a anti-sway for back of fargo,guy has for a 70’s full size van.seeing as rear is from similar year pickuo, im thinking it may work.
