Bryan, Your doing great compared to us two!!!! Actually I started mine in 2003. I was off a year  It seems so long ago  below is a before pic. I went thru three different tire combos....14" rollers, 15" Steelies w/Goodyear 775/15 power cusions fronts and 29 x 12.5 MT Sportsmans rears, and finally 15" Steelies w/Goodyear Polyglass F70's fronts and Polyglass L60's Rears. I'm happy with the last combo, as it looks as factory as possible but fills the back wheel wells. I have photos of everything but am not photobucket savvy  I will look into it, but if you need anything please ask, chances are I have pics. Sorry for the hijack Dave! No more I promise. I'm glad your past the issues. I dealt with similar setbacks, and sometimes you need to walk away for a few days/weeks/months. Next thing we know its years later!  Scott

Hi Sheldon!  Well, winter is fully engaged up at my place and getting the car up my driveway would require chains or a winch!  Funny how just a couple hundred feet in elevation can change things. There is a little more to do, aside from misc. interior bits and carpet; - yes, the hood needs to be finished, painted and installed - car still doesn't idle down; Blair claims a vacuum leak.... - front signals and horn don't work - needs a wheel alignment There is also the ramcharger duct and rear WOM's (ordered a set from Dale's based on Bryan's experience) but those things aren't critical to taking the car out. .....no, I'm afraid spring is it for me.....if I'm lucky!

Dave sounds like a few minor things.  Front signals are probably ground. Horns may be to. I chased a horn problem around for two nights. I finally figured it out. I overlooked my NOS date coded relay (that you can't even see). It turned out my problem was inside the actual relay.  I took it apart and actually bent the arm closer to the contact so it would work properly. I dont know if thats your problem but if it is, maybe I can save you a headache! Scott

"I can't remember where the relay even is" I hear you!!! Its under the dash just left of the steering wheel. The FSM actually has a good troubleshooting section for horns. Bad ground most likely the culprit  Scratching that beautiful paint to bare metal is never easy.  Scott

Thanks, I'll check it out.....it's been so long, I can't remember where the relay even is? 
The rims and tires were one of the first things I purchased and I screwed it up. If I were to do it over, I'd have gotten a set of 15 x 7 steelies with polys on it and another set of the grey TT's with the radials for driving. I'll get the poly's eventually as they really make a resto look finished and correct IMO.
