Thanks! The quarter panel patch saved a lot of time and was really nice! Returned the trunk pan so here is the new total... Expenses: Car Cost - $1500 Deck lid (thanks to moparmarks) - $100 Front Grilles (thanks to moparmarks - $50 Sidemarkers (4) - $60 383/727 combo - $300 Parts Car - $300 F/R Bumpers - $75 Trunk Floor - $230.85 Trunk Extensions - $150.48 Complete Interior kit - $626.72 Shipping for above three - $79.35 Rear defrost unit - $20 Parts Car (second one) - $150 Dash Pad - $25 Dual Horns and Front Wiring Harness - $25 Total - $3461.55 Sold/unused items: Front Frame Rails - $500 Front Frame Rails(second parts car set) - $500 Front Grilles - $126 Four Speed Console - $539.99 Misc. Parts in/on Parts car $76.57 Grand Total - $1718.99 And looking ahead im wondering what you think we should do about the firewall. The car was an A/C car. We replaced it with a non A/C firewall. So here is a poll. Any other suggestions would be great...

Have you seen where they live? It's not like there is alot to do and I'm sure they would rather cut metal than be bored all winter.

I voted for "Find a Heater box and restore it" because A/C adds weight and draws on the motor which takes away from performance and thus the fun too. Then again I'm a windows down type of guy. But IMO you don't want to run without a heater. You may want to cruise it on a cooler night and a heater doesn't add too much weight.
No longer taking $h!t from anyone!

I voted to put a heater box in there because it will fit the firewall and simplify things. You could always go with a Classic Auto Air system later if you wanted to. Those kits are made for cars that do not have factory AC.

Driving on a clear, crisp Fall day and driving in the snow are 2 seperate matters but both require heat.
Install the heater.

I agree with the put a heater in it posters. Cool nights, and hot summer days if the car is running a little hot you can put the heat on to cool the motor a bit. Keep up the good work.

GTX MATT Thanks for the offer but from what i have seen they are different.
Ross Pulliam I guess ive been lucky, the girl i took to homecoming requested we take my car knowing it had no A/C plus it was something like 85 degrees out...
Thanks Quikfish and SteveS that means a lot to us that we are inspiring and impressing others!
Does anyone have any feedback on the heater issue/poll above? I would like to know why you voted what you did!
Thanks,
Steve
My girls issue wasn't with the heat, it was with blowing her 100 dollar hair do around and messing it up before she got to show it off!
Keep the girl you got (at least through prom if nothing else )

Thanks to you guys,and AMD,you've inspired me to take on a project car,I'd parted out,and left for dead! I have a 69 Charger R/T SE,electric sunroof car,that needs about as much metal work,as your Bee. The worst part of this project,is that I sold a lot of the pieces that went to this car,and now I got to go out and find them,and buy them again! Your kickin azz on your project! I'm gonna call my project geezer guns! Cause I'm a couple years older than you guys!
