It seems like this project has been keeping you busy for the past few months. I guess this build is going well so far and honestly, I can't wait to see how it will turn out.

I haven't been to my page in a while but I did finish up all the little stuff on the rear of the car. I have another headliner that I purchased from SMS. So far I like it a lot. That will be starting tomorrow.

I hope everybody had a wonderful New Year

Joe

Looking good Joe ,cool car

I thought I would post a picture of how tight these cars get with a/c & smog. Still more to add. The fenders & wells will make it even tighter...Joe

Oh my gosh. I've had a field day with all the under dash components but I think I finally have it. With a/c everything has to be in the correct order or you start again. Actually had to take the heater assm. back out. I was beginning to think I was going to have to use dzus fasteners...ugh! Radiator now out for repairs. All the harness mostly in place. Radiator cap & gas cap also out being restored. Everything done underside except bleeding brakes. Here's where I'm at. Thanks for following...Joe

I can appreciate all that Joe. Looking really good on your part too. I'm gonna need to pull my dash cluster out again as the shifter swap means I need a center fuel gauge in the dash so yes...I really do know your pain. (lol)

Keep up the great work.

Thanks Graeme. Just having fun. Sorry you're having to do it again..Joe

Looking great Joe. We'll definitely have to take a cruise out to see it in person when you are done (or if you need help

)
