wasnt too hard. Just a bunch of little clips you have to undo, cause the wiring harness is attached to the dash

Yea. Im trying to decide how long i wanna spend on it. Id like to have it done for woodward.

But realistically, there is alot they i want to do, that i wouldnt get to do, not for lack of time, but financially.

If i were to 'rush' to get it done. i would have to skip, building the tranny, suspension, maybe rearend, brakes, seats, speakers,,,

I really wanna do everything thing at once, im not sure if i wanna do a bunch of work(im not happy with), just to re-do it in a couple months(winter).

Thanks alot!

Im really just trying to do it right, my way, the first time.

I know its slow now, and like i said above, im not sure whether im going to speed it up to get it done, or take my time to do it right.
