Progress interior

[shadowgray396]

Well the tach I just purchased was a non working tach. A friend was able to repair the original one I had so the gauges are done and odometer is set to 0. Managed to get a few things done even with the car show this weekend. Here's where I'm at. I can install the circuit board and it should be ready to go into the car.

Sorry to hear about the tach. Did you get it from that fellow on ebay ? Thats where we got ours.

I have said it before but here goes again, your car is going to be beautiful when done.

Dash looks great Ray. I see you got the 4 small pods covered and the letters exposed.

Did not get the tach off ebay, but from another site. I did talk to the guy yesterday and he has agreed to give me my money back. I appreciate that very much from him. Just another delay for the project. My gauges had been gone for 4 weeks while I looked for a tach, but we are moving ahead again.

Glad to hear you got some resolve.

Talk to the guy who I got the tach from yesterday. Claims he never got it back. Should have put a tracking number on it. My wife sent it back through regular mail. So it looks like I'm out the money. On a better note from a lousy weekend, I did get to work on the car today for about 7 hours and got a lot of things sorted out and plan to put the dash back in tomorrow night (Monday). Car is leaving wednesday over to a friends house to help me button up the mechanic part of it and it should be running when I bring it back home. Will be nice to hear the motor come back to life.

Another update. I must be making progress because 3 of the 4 totes I had in the garage are now empty. Been able to work on the car the last 2 evenings. Decided to keep the car a few more days to get more things done on it. The only tote that has something in it is for the door windows. That means the parts that are in the house will be coming out to the car. Expect my car cover to be here tomorrow and finally hope to put the dash in also. Got a set of wheel dollies, boy does that make it nice to move the car around and get under it. Also can anyone tell me what screws were used in the defroster vent up by the windshield. Screw or hex head? They may not show with the dash pad on.

You're making good progress Ray, can't wait to see some pics with the interior in.

The screws are black phillip head screws, look like they have a washer attached. The screws that hold the bottom of the a-pillar trim are the same style only chrome. I think the ones that hold rubber u-shaped jam seal are pretty close too. You can't see them with the dash pad on.
