Larry,

Sounds like a labor of love (and busted knucles) to me.  You can 
sure be proud of it when you're driving down the road.  
Congratulations and let us see some pix when you're done. You 
definately have more patience than I!

I'd like to see that A/C setup.

working on it for over 4 years. I have the frame and running gear 
all complete, the wiring has all been re-done, and the body is 
painted and ready for placing back on the frame assembly. I have 
replaced every screw, nut and bolt, brake lines, and everything that 
had wear or deterioration.

replaced the automatic with an m410 over drive. Thanks to Donny 
Lang, I now have the Volvo shift lever with the O.D. switch on knob.
