Thanks for the positive comments everyone, it was a big accomplishment for me, its good when I can actually see some progress being made on my car. It will still be sometime next year that I can get it back to the street. Next up is finishing off the trunk area, then the rear suspension with new springs and all the related parts.
The shifter is out because its among the parts that I will eventually get rechromed, along with the bumpers and some other smaller items.
The 8-track is The Who Hooligans, also have Tommy, $1 for the pair off ebay, I hope they work once I get things powered up.
I don't know the actual use for the folddown, maybe just extra cargo area, would have been nice if Pontiac had designed it for auctal pass through to the trunk. I remember one old article where they said one drag slick was placed in trunk and the other was placed on the folddown, maybe that the reason.
