Quick update. It's been awhile, but work got in the way for a bit. Traveled to Wyoming twice for work since the last update, but got back and was able to knock out a lot of detailed work.
Update on the headliner. A bit of a PITA, but just took my time and did one section per night. Office binder clips helped a lot.
The trick is, you pull the front and back tight first, then you can move to securing the sides. There will be wrinkles at first, but you keep working at it and with the help of a heat gun, you are able to work out those little wrinkles. It just takes time and persistence.
My seats came in from Corbeau and the 3- point harnesses from Miller. The seats don't sit too high, but I am only about 6'1'. I hear a lot of stories on aftermarket seat brackets sitting too high, but these will work for me.
These seats are black leather, but the lighting in the picture make them look charcoal. They are black though.
Almost complete. It's funny, it smells like a brand new car inside, but somehow, I am going to miss that classic old car smell... I think I will deal with the new leather smell.
Lastly, I got my radiator back. Had a buddy weld the aluminum bungs on it so I could do AN fittings and stainless braided hose top and bottom. Now I can finish the wiring for the fans and cover it up with braided wired loom.
Did not take any pictures of it yet, but I got the back seat back in. I modified it for the mini tubs per instructions I found on this site. It worked like a charm and fits perfect.
Going to work on a few more things to tighten down and finish bleeding brakes. (found a small leak previously, but no biggie.) Then I will take to Marcel for front and rear glass and final touches. It is almost road worthy!
