Thanks. I'll be dynomatting the doors soon and I'm waiting to do behind the sail panels when I put the stereo and speakers in the car. I don't think I'll bother with the foam and mlv on the doors.

It's definitely worth it but it all depends on just how quiet you want the car to be. My truck is my daily driver and it has a nice stereo. I wanted quiet so I did as much as I could.

Yay, I have interior again! I think the front seats have been in and out of the car 10 times on this conversion, hopefully they are in for good now.





Next project is the trunk. I'm going to seal up all the holes. Install a removable panel over the fuel pump hole and spare tire well. Finish up the rear wiring for the fuel pumps and battery disconnect. Repaint the rear cage down bars after removing all the other tubes. Then install a nice thin black carpet.

Looks great Mike. So, how close is this to being on the road?

Still a long way. I'm only getting one day a week to work on it. I still have to run fuel line (stainless hard line), make a crank pulley, fix a coolant leak around my belt drive, rework my intercooler charge tubes, wire most everything, shorten my driveshaft, fill and bleed all fluids, alignment, hang the exhaust and build a new air intake and filter box. Hopefully it will be done before spring is here, but I'm not rushing it.

lol... I hate it when I start making lists like that and they keep going and going and going...

Interior looks good, keep on plugging along and you'll be done soon at the rate you work.

Yes, the list. I get one thing done and add two more to the list. But you know you are close when you get summit gift cards for Christmas and can't figure out what to buy.
