would love too lol however money as always seems to stand between me and my goals ... lol but gonna do a few things this weekend I hope. Once I sell my other project ('00 GTP) then yes I'll be able to get somewhere lmao.
I'm hoping this weekend to hit it with some De-greaser (got dirty from the work on the WP...White sucks for that lol) Replace the the missing front lights with a Set of cheap Baja Tough ones I already have which were from my roof rack project on my '95 Blazer, Figure out how and were I'm mounting my Cobra 29 NW/WX and start designing a CB antenna Mount Bracket for the 102' Whip ...

OK well got some mechanicals done.. Replace the High Pressure hose on the PS. need to shake down the front end yet and replace anything it needs there as it has a decent vibration at 55.. but could be the tires as they look like hell ....
anyway Dug out one of my CB's out of the Basement. Decided for this build I'm gonna use my Cobra 29 WX/NW Soundtracker as the Weather Channel on it could be handy and the light up face is awesome. Haven't figured out were it is going to be installed as the size of it makes placement well interesting.

I also have a Cobra 29 Classic that would of been more "Era Correct" (built in the end of 89) and a Vintage Tram D42...
Also cut the rusted bracket off the bumper and replaced the lights with some lights I used to have on my Blazer. Good thing was it was already wired for front fogs so it made hooking them up extremely easy:

You guys in the Lower 48 can really score on CraigsList down there. Up here (in Alaska) you'll be lucky to find someone who would sell those rims for $50 each.
Going straight to Steels (Soft 8's or D Windows) for mine.
Nice looking ride you have there, keep us in the loop. Since mine is a 91 I'm gonna be stalking your build LOL.
