That is a beautiful car and you did a great job on it. Id love to see you finish it after all these years.
 
Welcome back Roger!!! :D It's fantastic the fire has been reignited and you'll be burning up the streets instead of airboat canals! I enjoyed our chat the other night ... you've always been an inspiration. Keep us posted!!
 
Thanks all...

It won’t be as long as it has been now that I’m over a few paint scratches..

Leanna... still pimping the skinny water regularly .... your welcome to join anytime .... I believe I gots a pair of T-backs in your size...
 
Dragged the original door panels out of storage ..... they seen their better days, so used em as templates for some sheet aluminum I had in the corner.

A lil bot ‘o scuffing and acid etch primer followed by some raptor liner ...... I gots some door cards, kick panels & back seat cards....taped off the top 3/8 “ on the panels to slip up into the retainer trim.

I’ve given up hope of pimping the interior..... just want to finish it and roll some miles

Like the wife says: Down n dirty but with class.....
 
I never felt any love for the TCI Cheeta shifter plastic cover. So I made a jig and cut up some sheet aluminum then took it over for a friend to weld up.

While there he replicated a close match of the dimpled hole in a piece of a glove box trim that I will be using as a filler piece right of the 66 dash cluster. Will be utilizing the holes to mount the headlight and wiper switches.

Been cleaning up the interior, installed dash pad, dash trim ( some what modified) , added a few roll bar members, the passenger seat mount fab ‘ed, new shifter mount fab’ed....

I’ll be ready for headliner and front / rear glass in coming weeks...

‘Bout time....

Didn’t take long for Chloe to claim her seat once she realized there were seats.... her whole 2 yrs around here it was just the “thing “ under the cover...
