Messed around in the garage on Saturday.


Gotta get a new belt since I am taking the vacuum pump out of the equation to make it more streetable. Just going with duel breathers on the new valve covers.
Previous picture from when I first put the motor in the car before the massive teardown and paint:


and now


Focusing on the front of the car, I like these headlights, but the only thing, they are apparently slightly smaller than the original 7" headlights.

Notice the stainless ring is slipping off slightly at the bottom. Small adjustment, but no big deal. I'll figure something out.

Moving on to the interior, I began to lay the molded carpet. Went with cut pile instead of loop to give it that more modern feel. Great pre-molded kit. Just had to line up and cut bolt holes out and trim slightly in places.


Installed the sill plate for fitting.



...and the door vent


Installing the glass is one thing, but adjusting it is a whole other chore.

So many factors and since these are new doors, I can't go by the old markings still on the hardware from before.

Think I finally got it... Lining up nicely and in the channel of the weatherstrip.


More to come... Thanks again for lookin'
