Father and son restoration 1st car

Dash is all buttoned up. Installed the wideband meter in the corner of the glovebox so it is visible with the glovebox door open. Had to put the manual back in.

Logan got a new trunk board cut out using the original as a pattern, and got the trunk mat installed. Actually he cut two out, one for my car also. So we both got new shiny trunks tonight.

First time car has been run in twenty years I'm guessing. No leaks. This seems like it is going to be a quick revving engine, very responsive. You will have to excuse the thrown together open exhaust.

 
first test spin. Everything seems to be working good. I love the way this built 727 feels with the 3.55s
