Well, if you decide to sell it, I'd be interested.

What are your plans for the tailgate band? Are you going to keep it?

that door panel looks great!

Oh my god I don't know why but I am still laughing at that comment, it's so classic, heck something happened to my first Miata so I just pulled out the spare Miata and kept on rollin', ha ha

People think I'm crazy for having spare cars until something like this happens!

Looks like that Miata, the Firebird, and that Lexus have been sitting for a good long time...

BTW, I got the switch and finally got it installed. It all works good, solved my problem with that part. Thanks again for the deal.

The firebird and Lexus are my dad's. Miata is a parts car so it's just been sitting in the garage since I bought it and took the front cap and hardtop off about two years ago.

Glad the switched worked for you, let me know if there's anything else you need, the Yukon is getting stripped next.

Three weeks later..........

The new kid should be helping you now.

Yeah it took more like 9 months, but I am back to building my truck now. I’m strongly considering a manual transmission swap, anyone willing to talk me into/out of it?
