I have been taking small steps in getting the car back together. I finally got all the AC duct work and dash back into the car. I installed the steering column in the car last night. Tonight I actually moved the car for the first time using the clutch and steering wheel. Sure did feel nice to take that big step. I took a couple pictures of the car outside. It sure does look nice. I can’t wait to get the side trim on the car.






I actually came across a NOS rear bumper. I just had to have it and I got a good deal on it.




The dash all installed.

I have been picking away at the interior slowly. I finished up the headliner and sail panels today. Overall it came out good a couple of small creases that will come out over time. I also finished up the dash and A-pillars.
I just got a phone call from the chrome shop that my bumpers are done. I should have them next week. I think I see light at the end of the tunnel.

Looks great! Fwi, a heat gun and ever so gentle movement will make those wrinkles disappear. I just wish I had something that original to restore!
