Rear seat delete is in. Need to caulk the gaps with some dark brown caulk. Eventually it will be covered in carpet

That is the plan! I’m a little scared of it right now.....the brakes are VERY spongy. I may need to bleed them again.....clutch is good, shifts great, but who knows. Temp gauge appears to work.....oil pressure gauge seems to work. Speedometer works, tach works. Dash lights work (very dim), all exterior lights now work. HORN does not work. Swapped 3 relays, no change, cleaned contacts under steering wheel, even replaced old rusty horns with new ones, still no joy(tested on battery).

Test drive #2....

Basically return trip from 1st drive. No issues, errors, or problems, except for the go pro twisting sideways in the "breeze"...what fun!

That is pretty awesome. Does this mean you are bonafide? You should have had Lori shooting the look on your face while driving. I think I would have enjoyed that just as much.
Good on you.
