I have everything under the floor. Including the Onan, to the bottom of the windshield. Absolutely untouched by the fire. Not even a trace of soot or smoke. So I have a lot of 78 parts that could be used as upgrades on the 73 that the dog dragged home. NOT ME of course. As my answer to Linda. Yesterday was very nice out. In the upper 30's. So I put the GMC convertible up on stands, in the drive so I could pull the alum rims with new tires, gas tanks, bumpers, new exhaust, exhaust heat shields next to the gas tanks, ( Mine were bolted to the floor) and cut the body/ floor to the right of the engine. The cut was in prep of removing the front of the body next. Got all that done in about 2.5 hrs. Then went inside the shop to do the same thing to the mouse house. ( Except cutting the body. ) That was another 2 hrs. Time, Time, Time. It just takes so much of it. The 1- 1/2 year old alum rims with tires are going on the 73. With new rims now coming from Jim K at Applied. Then more new tires to be put on the Mouse House. So we now have spent about $14,000. With another $9,000. in salvaged parts that will finally be removed, and installed in the Mouse House.Bob Dunahugh
