Haha, ya got me. When I first looked at your video I'm thinking "what the heck does he have on his headliner". Then I realized you have no roof!! Nice video...

Yes I focused on the mechanical parts first! Turned out I needed a new engine, and differential rebuild that was unexpected! My plan is to drive it this spring and summer to find any other problems and eventually get the upholstery kit ordered. My brother made new bows for the roof.

Its actually a magnetic tray I just got at harbor freight! Im going to use it when I take all the old nails out of the top wood. There is a ton stuck up there!
