Progress! Had an Aurora design kit put in the stock radio. Repainted a spare radio bezel and installed 2x3 ways in the package tray and 2x5" in the original dash location using the original mounting hardware. Works and sounds great!

I’m not forgetting. The original windlace is in good shape and UV fade would be less in hidden areas and tucked in portions of windlace. It is not the right color. It’s more brown.

I ordered a sample of door seal for my Pearl White/Gold interior 1965 Dart in the color I thought it was and it's wrong. Good thing I just didn't order. Colored one's can't be returned apparently. Has anyone done the windlace in this color combo? Which is the right one?

Yeah. Well the slide show answers that question. It’s supposed to bite you. I’ll clean up the grounds and add lock washers anyway.

If that little round silver doodad is the transistor, yeah I probably touched it. It wasn’t a big shock. Doesn’t the box ground through the housing? The box should be well grounded, it’s securely screwed tight to the passenger side fender well. I could take it off, clean the screws and scrape...

So I was driving to the local Friday car meet at the burger place and i was sitting at a light a couple minutes. Car was fully warmed up, ran great for 10 miles or so then just quit. It didn’t stall. It didn’t sputter. It just was running great then not running. I crank it once. Nothing. Crank...

Welp got it to the point I can drive it. All the dash parts sent for refinishing. Radio sent for modernizing. I guess I’m doing the interior this winter.

OER. Classic sells them as well as a bunch of vendors. They are more chromey than OEM though.

It’s the little things.

Put the gauges in the repop dash. It’s got chrome where it shouldn’t but it’s pretty. I’ll probably be eventually looking for a good NOS dash to restore. The original was very far gone and broken.

A little late for that lol. So far it’s gone really well and I’m having a great time. It’s going to look awesome.

No one yet. That’s the original dash pad lol. It’s pretty nice but has cracks.

I was just going to put in new seat covers and carpet.
