Congrats Tony. That is great news and please keep us updated w/ lots of pics!!

 

[Tony Fields]

Thanks again!

New back glass is in now

I love the sound of the 360

I will be trimming the top battery hold down plate with a radius
on each corner to match the bottom plate. It looks out of place.

Now I can get the black steering wheel on and start installing the
interior stuff. :-D

Duuuuuuuude!

Looking great!

can't wait to see that interior all finished.

Question: Are those brand new tail light bezels/lenses? if so, where did you get them from?

Question: Are those brand new tail light bezels/lenses? if so, where did you get them from?

Both bezels are new and the right lens is new. Had to use my orig. left
lens. Couldn't find one when I bought the right one. Now they have them in pairs and I'm not about to buy the right one again.

Got them from Rick @ Laysons

 

[Tony Fields]

Got the trim and wipers on the front today.
Also worked the rest of the day today installing the after market oil and temp gauge. Decided to use Auto-Meter

Now I need to get them mounted under the dash. They will be in
individual chrome cups.

Will do Dave......yes, I'm really starting to like this car.:-D


Looked at the doors, fenders and deck lid on Saturday. They look
as straight as the rest of the car. Rich told me they needed
to glaze them then they would bring them out and hang them.

Looks like some time this week.
