    Well the project is done. I pulled the box apart, gave it a damn good clean and put it back together with my modifications. I found evidence of at least one or two previous repair-attempts on this thing, so it's obviously had a pretty rough life. But it's back together now and does everything that it should, and looks like it should.

    Here's a few pictures:

    Thanks girls. Glad you liked it. It was fun trying to restomod this thing and get it back into something resembling working condition.
