Well Dave it's been a little slow. I am pleased to announce I'm done sanding/polishing the car and it looks amazing! I installed the window felts on the driver side along with the OER latex door weatherstrip... very TIGHT fit. I installed the side mirror as well. I finally got the cowl installed as well as the front and rear window stainless without any scratches to the paint. The trim is all original GM metal, just polished. The car is really approaching the home stretch...

Made a good deal of progress on the interior of the car... The interior of this car was in very good condition when I acquired it. Much of what you see is original.... dash pad, console, carpet insulation/sound deadener, door panels, even the door panel vapor barriers!!! Absolutely amazing!

I saved the original carpet too so I could use it as a guide when installing the new carpet. Door panels, kick panels, and console all installed with the original hardware. This car probably has between 90%-95% of it's original hardware intact!

You may remember from an earlier post I sent my seat belts to Charlie at Stingray Sity, yes it's Sity not City, to be restored. Very impressive restoration on the belts and the tags are amazing... He has a good sense of humor too... left a belt long in case there is a "fat boy" using it I guess I'd better install that one on the driver's side hahaha!

I'm still not 100% finished with the interior but I'm very pleased with the result so far. I have a nice set of NOS thresholds I bought from a member here to finish it off... Can't wait!!!
