A few more....

Enjoy....offer any criticisms as well. Thought about putting a black vinyl top on there since the trim is there, but not sure still.

Oh, and there is a/c compressor, but a/c doesn't work. Dad had it converted over to the new stuff, but it didn't have a belt on it when I got it, so I am assuming that the compressor is shot or something.

Car is looking good Kevin! I like vinyl tops on some cars. I think it would look good on yours since the trim is a lady in place.

agreed black vinyl top would look good. I do like the grey w black as it as well

that console lid is an easy fix, seperate the inner and outer upper console, make holes thru the inner part and use a u shaped sheetmetal for support, attach hinge reassemble. done correctly the repair is not at all visible w the console lid closed and only the most ardent olds fan will recognise the repair w the lid open

Cool....I have a buddy that does this kind of work, I don't have any idea what the price tag is on something like that though.

So, there are some rivets holding that on, do I just pop them off? Where do you get u-shaped sheet metal? I'm not a sheet metal worker.
