    Who scrutinizes carpeting that closely? If you walk into any room of someone's house do you look over the ceiling & floor....NO. You look at the walls unless your attention is pointed elsewhere. Drive it with pride.

    Go back & forth across the seams with a stiff bristled brush, the seams will disappear.

    That Goop is some great stuff, isn't it? I keep a tube in the garage and the house.

    GM + EV = Bad.

    Bottom line is there is a specific group of people that stand to make huge $$$ by selling this crap. They have no fore-thought as to whether our system can support it or if it can even survive in our environment. It's nothing more than a major scam only intended to make certain people rich at...

    GM + EV = Bad.

    GM's downfall started when they made everything a re-badged chevy.

    It's always nice to keep clutter to a minimum. But I usually try to keep the "leftovers" near until the project is finished. Put all the (hopefully) unwanted's in a big box until the projects finished. I'd bet that you'll return to that box many times.

    They call it "inflation". With a lot of blame going to the EPA. Thirty yrs back I had my rear bumper "show chrome", triple plated by North Star Bumpers in Madison WI, 45 miles away for just over $300. And my front is an NOS that I bought from Galen for $150. It still has the factory part #...

    No need for a helper. First, make sure to take the throttle off of the high idle position, then adjust to take up about 95% of any slop in the cable, done.

    You should be able to straighten that squiggle in the bumper with a healthy pipe wrench lined with a board on the chromed side, if you can figure out how to hold the bumper steady.

    My 71 Duster work in progress

    No, go back 20 yrs & buy every nice original part available. Then you'd have most of the parts needed for a fraction of today's cost. It's hard to beat a "happy hobby."

    I broke the $18k mark on my convert 30 yrs ago when I did it. According to an online calculator that would be $37,649 today. So you're not doing bad at all.

    With a hack saw & welder anything will work, e.g., my waGOON. Small block out, 440 in. 😊

    And they call this a "hobby". "A hobby is considered to be a regular activity that is done for enjoyment, typically during one's leisure time." :ROFLMAO:

    Make sure that you have everything oriented in your brain which is right, left, front & rear because it IS upside down.

    Used ones sell on ebay for around $100 plus. New are over $500. I wouldn't trash it.

    Sounds like a big block layout.

    electric pilot light?

    From what little bit I've learned, "electric igniters" are on all newer gas furnaces. The gas shutoff will not "open" until the igniter reaches a certain temp. Theoretically the conversion should be able to do. But it would mean replacing all 3, (compatible) components together.

    I do know that the 68-70 B & C wiper motors will interchange by swapping the arms and re-clocking the contact plate by rotating it accordingly. The 3 screws and the markings by them tell you where it should be. I used to know the orientation, but it was wisdom that I preferred to forget.
