So, update on the progress. Got the 4-wheel disc debacle squared away. Made my own brackets, had them hardened. Got correct rotors from the local NAPA machine shop, and installed the new brake system. Got them all bled, and E-brake installed. Rebuilt the AC/Heater box, new fan motor, new heater core and A/C evaporator. Repaired the cracks and broken box with some fiberglass repair from Autozone. Bolted it all under the dash. Rebuilt all the actuator doors, all new seals, and grommets. Re-installed factory under dash electrical harness, new ignition key, and re-installed all new vacuum lines. Installed center dashboard speaker as well. Ordered up my custom wheels, and with luck, tomorrow I will re-install all 4 window actuators, glass, door locks, and handles. Then next week sew up my new door panels, install my door speakers and rear quarter speakers, then finish off with the dash pad, and rear deck panel. As well as new windshield and re-install rear glass. After that, all that's left is to re-furnish the taillight housings, headlamp housings, and engine.. Then she'll be back on the road. Another Cat saved from the junk heap...

Short update. Got the side glass installed and all adjustments figured out. Thanks guys for the help with that. Haven't gotten to put as much time into the car as I wanted the last month, but have made some progress.
Had to make my own speaker enclosures for the kick panel (to work with the roll cage).
Test fit the enclosure on the kick panel, then wrapped in fiberglass.
Sand smooth and paint.
Wheels came in, also installed battery box, started cutting trunk panels and door panels.
Also built my subwoofer enclosed. 2 twelve inch sub's going to take 1000 watts.
