I meant to say RPM customs, get ready hardcore, Im calling you very soon ha...
As for the roofs, they were dealer installed back in 78 and honestly they give me points in some shows. I would rather have T-Tops, but it's a lot of work to weld in new metal and everything there so I decided to just keep it how it is.
Thanks for all the comments!

SPRING UPDATE 2012
Hey guys, haven't been here in awhile but here are some updates:

New deep trans pan
new diff cover with bearing support
old trans pan
old vs new
installed
axle
new Comp Cam roller rockers
new vs old rockers
new vs old pulleys (underdrive crank)
im still waiting for a new water pump, flex fan, and some other parts. More pictures will come up next week!
