That's a wonderful job, Paul.  Thank you for making that contact. 

Do you all think the oil leak will be fixed in time?  I think that might be the only thing remaining?

We, by we I mean f85gtron, fixed the oil pressure sender tube before driving the car to my place. 

The cardboard under the car in my garage has stayed dry.

The oil leak was fixed the day we picked it up From the body shop. The other tube did the trick. We kept the old one, since they're hard to find and I'll try and braise it before you get it back so it'll be good for the next project or back to Ron or wherever it's supposed to go.
My 6pack preference is bud.

Headache Beer.  Every time I drink 2 six-packs if Bud, I get a headache and I don't even stagger.  Heck, I can't even walk.  I haven't decided if the headache is from the beer or hitting the ground.

How about Yuengling?  You did the work, so you tell me what you want and it's yours.

Yeoungling it's an excellent choice, or a nice Apple cider such as woodchuck. Or ice house.  I'm not really partial to anything. My only requirement is that I have someone to crack them open with!

Several of us have inserted them between the passenger seat and the door sill.  Just slid into the little space there.  One of my cars has one mounted on the left front fender wall, but it's a small one  I also saw someone that had mounted theirs to the trunk wall in the upper left side.

If it's ok with you guys, I'll slide it in between the passenger seat as suggested. He can mount it if he'd like later. Sounds like a matter of personal preference

Mine is stuck in the passenger side of the spare tire well (now occupied by a battery.)

Pgackerman and I worked on the car again today.
Update:
The fire extinguisher is tucked in on the passenger side seat-door gap.
The rear calipers are on
The spark plugs (Where only finger tight) and wires (two end fixtures stayed on the plugs) are on.
The ses light has been taken out. I switched with another good bulb, but still nothing. Weird. 
Got the tablet hooked up and got data. No codes and everything looks good.
The throttle body had been tampered with so I set back to factory. The tps set to .50 volts and the throttle plate set to 30 steps iac.

Starts right up (usually) and holds idle, sometimes rough, sometimes perfect. However, it dies rather reliably when throws into park. Trying to figure that one out
