1Bad454 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 WOW! Looks amazing Dennis. That vinyl top really pops! What are those plastic things that go under the bumper on the back of the rear quarter panels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 So I called the Upolstry guy yesterday for an update on the seats. After 3 1/2 months the answer was “ I got them tore apart. I guess I’ll get to them next week “. I should have called him earlier for an update. Lol. I may be driving on milk crates. I’ll try to find some blue ones so they match. Ugh. In all fairness to him, I know he didn’t except the body and paint to be done that fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 I’m a little more smarterer than I once was. Lol. I’ll use ratchet straps. I don’t want to fall and hit my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 Moving along very slowly. But it is coming along. Tomorrow is dash day. I need to get true power to the windows so I can adjust them. It was much more fun to tear it apart. Went faster too. Lol. The spring broke in the gas door.

willie Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Yes i agree 3x longer or more!!! Dennis she looks great!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 Didn’t update last night so y’all get it now. I’m avoiding the dash like the plague. All the wiring is done. No holes left in the firewall except the steering column. A few connections to make in the engine compartment but they have to wait for wells to be installed. Putting in rear defrost and rear speakers now then I have no choice but to get the dash done. Ugh. It’s slow but somehow the room upstairs is depleting of parts. Lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Slow my Butt Dennis. You are doing a great job, and she looks beautiful!!! I have to say you are the perfect guy for the rear defogger and speakers... Once i get in there takes me awhile to get out. lol Keep punching!!!!

Dtret Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 Alright dang it. The dash made it to the car and I cut the hole for the trunk release button. I’m dreading this. But here I go. I might need to think about it a little more. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
