Hey where in Indy you located. I may be able to help out with the parts. I can get GM parts well below dealer cost. I can see what I can get for a 1990. Let me know if you are interested.

Man, back from the dead or something?

Looks like it is coming along nicely. You weren't lying when you said it was gonna take a while.

Good luck with the rest of it.
