2 questions about a '74

[Zack Morton <zmorty74@xxxxxxx>]

Thank you all for your help!  The scheduled build date for my car was 
June 12th.  It doesn't really matter, but it's awesome knowing when 
(about) my car was made!  Thats awesome!  As for the rear defogger, I'm 
going to look in the FSMs to see if that is a project I feel up to, and 
if it is, I'll be asking for the whole assembly.  The blower, and the 
switch for the dash board, and the trim piece that goes in the window 
shelf to make the hole look nice.  Thanks again for your help everyone.
