winding down my project these days....spent the last couple of nights getting the tachometer working properly. I only have the windshield washer sprayers (?) and a/c left to get working and I will be done completely mechanically speaking. I still need to get the fit right on my windows and tops, but just can't seem to get it. I've done basically all the work on this car myself, except for engine and paint, but this final fit up is just driving me crazy so I'm looking for someone in houston to help me with this.....I also think that I want to change the interior color from oyster to dark gray, so will probably be looking for a good upholstery company here if anyone knows one in Houston I would appreciate the lead.
It has been way more work than I ever anticipated, and way more money.....just in case you are thinking about doing it

No idea why Ive never seen this tread before today.
Nice build you have.
Few questions:
Care to share the speaker box dimensions?
With tops stored on top of the speaker box, is the box tippy? If you jammed on the brakes is the box going to tip forward?
Recall what front springs you used? Reinstall the originals? or New ones?
The valve covers, recall what paint you used?
Is the Oyster interior '79 oyster or '78 oyster? Curious, if your going to change the colour I might be interested in buying some of the oyster parts. I have a '78 with oyster and some of the parts need replaced.
Have a pics of the rear suspension, showing the half shaft angles, now that its fully built? I'm trying to determine "right height" for my car. Did you use the stock (6"?) spring bolts or 8" bolts?
