The new body shop teacher at the school is doing it with his class. Drop him a line if you are interested in a nothing fancy, nice, cheap job.

His name is Ed Koochin

So progress has been slow due to alot of things....

Here are some interior pictures.  A HUGE thanks for Brian (red snapper) for the interior work.  TOP NOTCH.  


















The interior panels will get worked on as time permits but I have an inspection to deal with first.  (U S vehicle)

Big thanks out to kris off the forum.  Speak up young lad.  With the aid of his motorcycle jack the Riv now has a motor.  We got it running this afternoon but I took the carb off to rebuild it.  It all goes back together tomorrow then it's off for inspection soon afterwards.  Everything else seems to be working with the exception of the wipers (waiting on new wiper shafts and safari pivots), horn ( have to hook it up under the button), and reverse lights. ( I suspect the switch on the tranny may be toast)  I'm sure there is more but I'm being optimistic.  Woo Hoo it's so close.
