I picked up a radio delete plate from a member on here and put it in and removed the dead tape deck from under the dash looks a lot better.

I can't believe it took a month!

Why don't I see any dust or dirt on that dash, mine is never that clean.

I had to replace one of the mufflers and I found this old stock one at a tractor and farm store in a small town and it sounds really good most of the parts I have replaced one this car are from the seventies and early eighties.
