 Only thing that matters to me is that your happy with what showed up. I know it cost you a few bucks to get her there! and of course.....always more work than we expect as soon as your pulling it apart.....

I love what showed up. If it was not for the roof I would have put the new pan in the floor and drove it

so we have some big time rot where the dash meets the cowl. i can buy the new cowl section but we will have to rerepair the dash. I would gladly buy a dash out of a donour car but my guess woud be they are all rotton in the same place

The sheer joy of the rotten windshield channel 65-70. 

One cannot truly appreciate the B body without being exposed to this.

Easy to do Kevin. When I did the black Grande Parisienne in 2012-2013 I took some pics. 

The blue part at the back is the patch I added and that hump, although patched up is an original hump.

That one got a power Strato Bench but other than the console mounting brackets, the hump etc, all the floor metal, is all the same between bucket and bench.
