And its been another long while since a post so I thought I would catch up on the latest. I have installed a new radio in the space that was mangled by a previous owner trying to fit a three hole radio in it. I had no choice but to install a DIN radio so you purists out there are going to cringe at the sight. But, it is still my car and I am fine with it. I have also purchased a new top for it which finally arrived after the second shipping. Seems Fed-Ex delivered it to the wrong house but didn't know where and was too busy to find it. They told the shipper to just file a claim which I assume they did. Great business practice, right? I will never willingly use Fed-Ex for anything. Anyway, pictures below.

 I have also finally located the correct gaskets for the taillight housing to body and the housing to lens that I am installing. I will post text and pictures. I will then put the car on Bring A Trailer and offer it for sale. Thanks for following this long journey.
