Sanded and painted as much as we could without totally taking everything apart. It's only a clone so I need to keep the cost under control. We treated lots of areas that you can't get to with cosmoline to help stop any further rust.

He is a pro. He's been doing this stuff for 30 years. I didn't want to try this.

June 28th update. New stereo stuff going in. "We" built a box that hangs under the package tray. It holds the bass and two other speakers. The CD Changer. Not sure why I did the changer, I have an iPod. And the amp.
The dash is supposed to go back in this week. I've heard this one before... ![]() ![]() Nice size cables running up front.

Well, finally some progress to report.
Dash is back in and all the gauges work, even the clock! ![]() Stereo almost done. ![]() Refurbished seat installed with bracket to set it back 2 inches. I'm now sitting up a little to high so there may be some future adjustments. ![]() New steering wheel almost in... ![]() They had to wash the car so they could do some paint touch up. Still looks good when you take all the shop dust off!
