I finished mom's siding now. I got one more room to tile and I am free. With no further delays maybe I can get this thing painted before winter. Income taxes came so right now I am a kid in a candy store. I got to pay a couple bills with it but i got enough to buy some car stuff. I thinkin steering wheel and SS chrome for the horn button. Dash pad and finish the dash. New bezel, SS dash piece. Weather stripping and the top. That ought to keep me busy a while after it is painted. Get the wiring and heater/air cond core back in.
I have owned 68-69's before I know one thing that is getting improved on from factory on this car. Dash gauges and radio are held in by the plastic dash bezel. Which is why they crack and fall apart. I had 68's turn the ignition off if they started to wheel hop before from this. I going to make bracing that goes from the firewall to the back of the gauges and radio. And from the metal dash where the steering column bolts on up to them. Give these parts some support so they can't just flop around anymore.
