Front is almost done but ran into a weird ball joint problem. Some Hotchkis suspension parts and shocks. Also got my full TTI exhaust. Put the Retro Radio in and wired everything up. It will have Sirius.

Finally got my Legendary front seat covers. They are very nice.

 

[68GTconvert]

The stripe is on. I love it.

 

[68GTconvert]

Another shot.

So what's up with the ball joint?

So what's up with the ball joint?

The castle nuts weren't going on and were spinning the shaft. Not really sure but something was bent or slightly messed up threads? Instead of fighting it for another hour I decided to get new ones.

The trials and tribulations of putting a car back together.....
Looks like it will be ready soon......bet you're getting itchy to drive it

 

[68GTconvert]

Yeah I pick it up Monday and tow it to the vinyl top place.

 

[Evildart]

Oh I remember those days well.... How's the family?
We will have to get together soon(with the Darts)

Good thanks. Yeah there will still be a lot to do but hopefully I can knock it out. That would be fun though.

Lots done today. It steers, brakes, clutch works, exhaust is in, exhaust tips are welded on, carpets are in, seat belts are in, z bar-shifter etc.

 

[68GTconvert]

Belmateo and Tach spent hours/days putting in the headliner.

Looks like you will be cruisin' that beautiful GTS very soon!

 

[Evildart]

I'm excited and it's not even mine....

 

[68GTconvert]

It is at the upholstery shop getting the vinyl top put on, the windshield and rear window in, and the legendary seat covers put on. Not going to be cheap. Hate to say it but I am just burnt out on this project.

 

[68GTconvert]

The guy almost has the vinyl top on. Window guy comes tomorrow or thursday.

 

[mopowers]

Damn, that's gonna look slick. I'm looking forward to seeing it when they're done.

 

[68GTconvert]

Just need windshield and rear window put in now. Seats got redone again.

 

[TimsGT]

So close!!!!!

 

[68GTconvert]

I forgot to mention it is in my garage finally. It is getting there. Window guy is coming next week.

 

[68GTconvert]

The passenger exhaust tip is hitting the leaf spring and is super crooked. I have to either re-weld or try to adjust the pipe.

 

[68GTconvert]

Got my new Reproduction wood grain wheel. Pretty nice.

 

[68GTconvert]

I keep calling the window guy but he is super busy I guess. Hopefully get him over here soon.
