Bolted the pass side in and then couldn't figure out why the dr side wouldn't bolt in right. Duh!

I fixed the gaps on the 'new' side doors and made the decision NOT to sell the old girl.
This means that my early Dodge project is not on the back burner, it's off the stove completely.
Not having the money for the paint job I wanted originally, I have another idear in the works and I think the van will still look good. This spring Brian I will start sanding her down for paint.
One thing I'd like to do ASAP is pull the hacked up wiring harness behind the dash and replace it with a new harness. I know of two 85's I can grab that from.
