Well Tomorrow I am planning on doing maintenance to the interior of the Sprint, and get it ready for a make over... I was doing good research and came across a car that Pontiac is making, still unnamed but wow!

Dead Battery
So among all the bootlegging it seems I have to go through to start the cruck, the battery died on me yesterday, went from charging it in the morning to just flat out dead. No biggy, a nice duralast battery at autozone with 800 cca ran me $104 and I still owe them a core.
Now I'm back to the basics, over the next 2-3 weeks I fully intend on doing the following:
* Get the windshield re-sealed so there are absolutely NO leaks! Can't ruin my future interior :-P
* Weld the part of the frame that cracked that way my back end doesn't lag when I step on the gas, and so the entire back doesn't shake over every bump!
* Buy at least one piece for the interior, likely candidate will be the insulation and carpet. I've decided on black carpet.

Got it running!
Well I got my 1972 GMC Sprint Running, I bought it on the 26th of August and drove it home, drove it around a little bit and went to start it a week ago and Nothing! I got a crap load of problems to work with though, between the custom made shotty wiring, home made speaker system running off of walmart computer speakers and a rogue wire that has a piece of metal clipping it together it was a rough week.
Long story short I had replaced the starter, which required I grind one bolt off, still nothing! I went ahead and replaced the ignition starter switch and Vrooooom back in business!
Here is the work ahead of me that I see so far:
Broken Frame - Fix with a MIG welder
Windshield leaks - Replace the windshield gasket! removing the redneck work
Brakes - I'll bleed the drums and put new brake fluid
An ugly red visor on a black car - remove that pos and bondo it!
Exhaust leak with a fallen off muffler - Replacing with a complete magnaflow muffler system complete with headers!
Rust on the Body - Will replace both doors, and rear quarter panels on both sides
Interior Shot - Will replace the entire interior!
Any questions? I'll post pictures in a bit!
