Here are more pictures of work that I have done

If you look you will see that there are sport mirrors on the doors now. I got those off e-bay for only 22 dollars. They were listed as malibu mirrors and they snuck by other buyers so they didn't hit the normal 60-100 dollar mark.

If you look you can see that I installed the carpet in this picture. I also put down extra insulation to help keep the heat and noise out (and it works, I recommend this to everyone).

The in dash radio gave out and I wanted something more modern so I installed this radio that I had sitting upstairs in my room. I had to special make the compartment for the radio. To do so, I attached the box to the seat by installing a cabinet handle to the box and running a bungee cord, through the handle, to the frame of the seat. This is a simple, cost effective solution that does not impede the seats mobility.

The new radio didn't like the weak signal that came from the stock in windshield antenna so I fabricated up this bracket and mounted a new antenna onto the back of the cab.

I painted all the interior panels and for some reason these two didn't take the paint and are flaking. I don't know if the body flexes there or if I just did a horrible job of prepping the panels but at some point I am going to have to pull them back out and paint them again.

You really can't see much from this picture of the engine but I thought I would tell you a little about the mechanical work I have done lately:

The alternator had a short in it causing the idiot light inside the cab to come on even though it was still working. This kinda scared me because I drive on the interstate in Atlanta and I wouldn't know if the alternator really was bad so I just changed it. Another contributing factor was the fact that because this was a generic GM that shared parts with every other car for so many years the alternator only cost 20 bucks.

I adjusted the valves because they had started to make a little noise. They were only just loose so no damage was done so it wasn't much more of a job than changing the valve cover gaskets. Unfortunately on this car taking the driver�s side valve cover involves completely removing the ac compressor and loosening the bracket that attaches to the intake manifold.

The carburetor began to leak around the accelerator pump so I decided to change it before the leaking gas started an engine fire. Once I got that new carb tuned man does she purr.

I also had to replace the spark plug wires. I had a cheep set of wires and they succumb to some heat that caused them to split and start shooting one inch sparks to the exhaust manifold. I didn't cheep out this time and purchased good accel wires. Hopefully these will stand up better.
