Actually, yeah, I'd love a '66... but the "patient" buy is on a budget. 
So we'd have to talk price... Also looking at getting a cheap-arsed '69 
that's really only good for cutting up, to use for parts in a "raised 
rear deck" version of the conversion. I like the idea of a mini tool 
cabinet in the back end, out of sight but there when you need it.

So that's where you are, Kansas? Should come down to the southeast, 
we're still in the 60s and 70s for /overnight/ temperatures. ;)
