64 GP interior install.
So I decided it is time to swap the interior from red to blackhttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...8a6981e69c.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...5243131b91.jpg
Man, it's a lot of work to prep a 50 year old car for a new interior! Wow! http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...d1ff81c45f.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...00848c06b2.jpg But we have made a lot of progress since the start of it all http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...e3822e05ed.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...11788632a1.jpg The dash was quite involved http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...cde30d9c99.jpg Cleaned the whole inside with a cup brush on a 5" grinder. Welded new patches under the rear seat and a small one in the passenger foot well from a leaky heater core http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...82c911f92a.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...8bd66e1fb1.jpg I decided all of the interior paint, around the door jams and window openings will need redone and painted the final black before assembly. Then I can mask off the reveals when the exterior gets done (cash is limited) http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...5264b2140c.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...d0e118b17c.jpg Around the rear window and windshield have been epoxy primed. Side windows and door jams are next. Then a flat black top coat on the inside and black base clear around the openings. I'm $4k Canadian deep into the interior so far.

The old man helped quite a bit! Mostly moral support and small stuff (he's 73, that's his Ford in the background.) He's moved back East so i'm on my own. Hopefully i can keep the momentum going!
|
Great progress!!
slightly off-topic but I wish '62s had a dash you could unbolt like that!! |
Lookin great!! Keep it up!

6 bolts total I think Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
62s might be 6 bolts but IMO a total PITA!Tom

The main (painted steel) dash panel on '62s are welded to the body...and the large opening for the chrome panel is like a knife's edge from the stamping process!

Looking close at the transmission hump - is this a car you put a 200 transmission in?

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11...7200ecd594.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11...8274161f00.jpg Finally got some paint laid down. Took on some dust during the clear coat phase but a nib file some sand paper and polish should clean them up. I need to modify the exhaust system in the shop to pull more air out. Soon that will be done Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Clear coat seems to make its own dirt for crying out loud. I had next to no dirt during the paint stage!
Cromax mosaic Super Jet Black and LE8700S Clear. The clear is super nice |
Dash come out nice. Couple dirt nibs but should polish outhttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11...42141029a4.jpg
