A little actual progress, made another new shifter for the Courier and finished up my Electronic ignition swap. Let me just say WOW!!! It was definitely a nice upgrade doesnt hesitate or miss any more and I think I gained some actual performance out of it feels a bit more peppy. Got the front to lay a bit lower as well a little more trimming and I should be laying frame in the front with the z71's and 205/30/16 which means I should definitely be able to lay out when I get a set of 14's. Installed a sweet fog light aswell to help with the rustic look im going for. Oh yea best of all installed a sweet 8 track player oh yea!!! Ok here's the pics

If your going for the ol school look you should really check out some of the customs built in the mid to late fifties and take a few tricks from the stuff they were doing.
