The assembly continues........


As mentioned in the post just before this one, I missed my slot at the upholstery shop. Lucky for me I have a good guy that was still willing to help me move forward. Last Sunday he came to me and installed the headliner! Only took him 2 hours, and there isn't a flaw or wrinkle to be seen!









Then I took the car off the Quick lift and got it on the ground. This is the first tie seeing it like this with the drivetrain in it and all painted. Exciting for me!




Still very much unsure about the painted rad support. As a painter I like the extra effort it takes to color match everything. And who will be looking at the car from this angle anyway?! Still, I may end up painted it matte black. Time will tell.






And the other night I installed the new windshield and NOS back glass by myself. Nerve wracking to do this alone, but it went well.





And this has to be one of my favorite things. Now with the glass in, seeing the stripe continue through it and onto the dash. Lots of extra effort, but this is the detail I was so looking forward to seeing completed.
