I have been following your thread since you started. Your level of craftsmanship and dedication are just off the charts. You have a product built with more care and much nicer than what Chrysler turned out back in the 60's. Great work
Thanks Floyd for the nice comments. As a matter of fact I want to get it as close as possible. I have even reproduced some errors along the restoration!! So hopefully when it's done it will have all the errors, scratches and paint drops as they did back in the day!
Thanks to all the FABO members who has contributed to this build I have found tons on unvaluable information how it once was assembled.
Today I picked up the shortened package tray as well as the sewn in heel pad for the front carpet. Man, that looks great. My friend Andreas Westlin at the Lofstroms Skomakeri the work was professionally done.
First out was to mount the package tray. It's still a Little big but finally in Place it lokos good. I mounted it in the front with the small tabs. On the flat surface I will add two painted clips but unfortunately they arn't painted yet.
Next out was to fabricate the small extensions on each side of the carpet. I added and glued the special fabric band to keep the carpet and the extensions together. Lucky me fior repopping the decals under the carpet last year. All this time they have just been waiting to be added under the carpet!!
The last work was to mount the carpet hold downs and bring back the accelerator pedal in place. Next move will be to add the rear seat. To be continued..........
