Very nice job! Love the style of these trucks. I think I found my next project.

Well, spent Thursday, and a few hours Friday & Saturday working on the truck. Thursday I got my windows put into the doors, I found that a frame from a four bulb ceiling light that holds the plastic light cover works great for the channel that's inside the door (since they don't make a reproduction). Saturday picked me up a full size seat and put it in. Yesterday I got my a/c hooked up, vents located and made a bracket for supporting the rear of the a/c compressor. Here's my seat, I will be getting it recovered gray vinyl.

Sorry it's taken me this long to get this for you. The top picture is the type light I'm referring to used, and in the second you see the frame minus the one side I used. I measured the passenger door and then cut the new frame. The drivers door has a single screw about the latch then 2 screws middle ways down. The single one holds the top of the track to the door and the bottom two has a flat piece of metal which I took off and welded to the new track. Just a task of measuring and a little welding. Let me know if you need more info. I should have took a picture of it before I put it in.

I'm not ready to put in my windows, but this will definitely help me in a few months(hopefully just a few months).

Thanks again,

I took this picture the other weekend and is one of my most favorite pictures yet. I bought a 86-93 s10 instrument bezel and will be getting started modifying it so the z28 guage cluster will look good in it.
