in July I spent almost a month for the headliner installation, it was a terrible job and impossible to done alone, finally with a little help I made it and my painter has installed the rear glass and a new shaded windshield

Hello, I'm here again, some weeks ago I've installed the MSD 6A in dash because I hate see much wires around the engine and for this reason I've laso run the MSD wires togheter with the original wires, some wires also gone in the original plugs on the firewall.

so anybody know what are the 3 green wires in the dash?

Nice ride! Mine was made in San Jose, Ca in 1969 and I believe all the workers smoked dope at lunch.

Any progress?

Any progress?

I done a lot of works but not much progress :bored:

I have restored and repaint some interior plastic parts, reassembled and installed the carburator with manual choke, I'm waiting for instrument clusters rechrome, ecc.... also I got some pretty news parts and I have ordered others...

so anybody know what brackets are the pair in the picture? if I remember well they were installed in the rear subframes near the leaf springs suspension

Sorta look like the factory tie downs for shipping, they were usually removed by the dealer.

Looks like a lot of progress to me! I'm still in the paint stripping mode, my car had 12 layers of primers and paint colors so I'm thinking it will be about 80-100 pounds lighter when I'm done! The paint was literally as thick as a credit card. During the hard work phase it seems to drag on and on but then you get to the stage buckeye is at and THEN you get huge gains quickly! Thats when it gets rewarding. Stay encouraged friend, you are taking on a task that many guys WISH they could do but never get to.

@ Grabber70Mach thank you and sorry for my stupid answer, if I had read the rear valance sticker I would have understood by myself...:innocent:

@Cornerstone thanks for your support man, patience is never enough in these works!

you are lightening the car and instead I'm growing a little weight, jokes aside yesterday I finished to apply the noise insulation sheet on the floor:001_smile:

have a nice Sunday!

Just ran across this - wow, you are leaving no stone unturned on your restoration. Very nice detailing. I see you opted to get your panels metallized. I just did mine in my 70 and found it to be very tedious work applying the thin line tape to protect the thin chrome edges while applying the black and argent. Its time well spent though and your instrument panel cannot look any better once its done.
