"Well, the rig has returned to us after several weeks of refit at a local mechanic shop. To say that she is running well... is an understatement. \n\tShe received:\n \n\n\n\t\tA full tuneup, new belts, hoses, wires, plugs etc.\n\t \n\t\n\t\tre-cored radiator... since nobody makes these rads anymore!\n\t \n\t\n\t\trebuilt fuel system, with proper \"helper\" electric fuel pump and regulator &amp; custom hard fuel lines.\n\t \n\t\n\t\tThe ORIGINAL in-dash A/C system has been brought back to life with a new compressor and hoses. Now running r134a and staying very, very cool.\n\t \n\t\n\t\tnew turn signal switch\n\t \n\t\n\t\tfront end re-lube\n\t \n\t\n\t\tnew transmission and oil pan seals\n\t \n\t\n\t\tnew valve cover seals\n\t \n\t\n\t\tnew exhaust manifold seals &amp; some work to reduce a tick/ leak on the passenger bank\n\t \n\n\t \n \n\n\n\t... and now the cosmetic work begins. A water main break somewhere in the back calls for our attention, meanwhile we have acquired all of the beadboard paneling for the ceiling. We also decided to tile over the plain wood in the kitchen area, giving it a cleaner look while still looking \"in place\"  \n\tIn the meantime, I'm also doing research for vintage or \"vintage styled\" 12v lights. the six 12v \"main lights\" across the cabin are ridiculously small, and worn out anyways. The problems I face are simple, it seems like not many 12v fixtures deviate from plain white and clear, with a more \"modern\" look about them. I found a few companies who make vintage reproductions, but primarily of the late 80's fake-woodgrain florescent fixtures that everybody used at the time. \n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tOnce the main is repaired, the ceiling retrofitted, we'll be ready to rip up the carpet and replace it. It will be replaced with some sort of laminate or hardwood, depending on what ends up being durable and easy to clean.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tIt's good to have this project back on track again.\n "
