Thumbs up Progress
I have been making some progress lately. Finally got headliner installed. Then came windshield and back glass. Interior trim is going back on. Speakers and stereo hooked up. Next is package tray. Still waiting for door panels and seat upholstery. These have been ordered since June 10th. Deadline is fast approaching. May have to throw some covers on the old seat to make norwalk.

Tunnel is finished! A section in the front is removable (as suggested by Tom S.) so I can get to the bell housing bolts. Dash bar went in nicely. I predict there was a serious amount of cursing going on to get the back seat in around the cage Once the gas pedal gets mounted she is coming home fellas

Nice looking work. Are you planning to certify it to 8.50?

I would expect more cursing when the guy has to remove the seat to paint the cage! Nice work!! Thanks for posting the pictures!
