The column and seats area a cinch. The cluster itself isn't bad, either (not to say it's a pleasure fiddling with all the wires). 67's are a completely different column than the earlier cars, but not really more difficult.

I saw a guy repeatedly R&R the seats on an old Porsche to do similar work, and was complaining about what a pain it was getting to all the fasteners. He didn't realize the seats are designed to slide forward, all the way off the tracks, so they can be removed in 30 seconds.

The windshield frame in this car is beautiful




Pulled the radio to start cleaning on that. The volume knob was real "scratchy" so I cleaned that and some other contacts in the radio.




This is my go to for delicate electronics



Finished up rebulbing the dash and installed the cluster. This always makes such a noticeable difference.

While waiting for what is (hopefully) the last load of parts, I got the chassis cleaned up and wiped down. I'm very pleased with how this came out.

I was thinking we could hang it upside down, spread out a buffet and eat off the floor...

Looks great. What are you using to clean up the chassis so well?

This car here had a body off restoration that was completed about 20 years ago. In addition, the quality of the refinishing was well above average. I wiped the floor pans down with lacquer thinner, steam cleaned the rest, and then wiped everything down with Boshield T9.

Looks amazing - I just ordered some Boeshield to try on the 409 chassis to see how it cleans up as it was body-off'd back in the 90's and needs a spruce up.
