Awesome man that thing looks great. SB's seem pretty easy to work on...how long to you think it sat not running?

It sat for 16 years, it was last registered in 1992. I still have to wait till the owner comes back from Arizona this spring to get a bill of sale so I can register it in my name. Till then I can only put around the neighborhood.

Things to come:
Install new 6x9 speaker and build custom speaker grill.
Buff exterior and polish interior paint.
Install carpet floor cover in back.
Add CB antenna, and possibly PA speaker (that would be fun)
Try and clean some areas of white interior.
Get oil temp and gas gauges working.
