Interior is done and ready for pick up. Door panels underway today. Dash getting buttoned up. Column back in and re-wire battery and gauges. Radio wired. Once rolling to shop for custom wheel fitting and alignment. Then to have a custom trunk surround put in to house two 10 inch subs. So close.
 
Was so concerned about valve cover clearance for master cylinder that I never thought about issues with blower motor. Well, I fit a stocker on there so a chrome stocker it will be!

I have the originals and they are practically mint. I picked these up here on FABO to drop weight on the car.
 
@ limegreen. Not going to lie, eBay and China. Cost was 1/4 of what an OEM would go. Cheap enough that if they looked like *** I could toss em. They are heavy and enameled metal. I got matching with sticky backs for trunk lid. These mount with a nut/bolt and cross tab so I can easily remove.
 
Sand, prep, assemble and test fit rear bumper assembly. Weighs like 10 pounds. My buddy fabricated a drip mold that turned out cool as hell.
