I don't know how to make them smaller. At least I got this far!

Well, I've got around 100 miles on it. No problems so far. I finished making the head-liner bows, made backing for all the interior panels, made garnish molding backing, got all the insulation put in, some extra courtesy lights installed, dome light installed. I took it to the interior shop yesterday. We got both front door panels cut out. Going back today to start on the real quarter panel-boards. Interior work is kinda hard!

So it's almost done, can't wait to see the finished product. You do good work Tony.

Thanks Hank. We got the kick panels, front and rear firewall , both rear quarter panels, the top for the package tray, and the header panel cut and fit today. Hotter than hell in his shop. No AC. He has the design laid out on the rear firewall and package tray. It is going to look like there are rear seats, but there isn't. Kinda hard to describe. Hank, you gotta drive this thing!

Me? That thing scares me Tony! It is nice looking, you did one hell of job pulling it all together. Seriously, you have some real talent, wish I could do half the stuff you do. BTW, ya hot, miserable outside just standing there. Do anything at all and you're dripping wet.

We got the drivers side rear panel and door panel upholstered and installed today. Man, does it look good. The interior guy, Gary Benway, AKA "The Mad Pleater", is one hell of a craftsman. He is 73 years old and has been doing this work for 53 years. He has had 3 cars he did the interior on win the Riddler Award. He has had 8 cars in the Great Eight. That says a lot right there. I got all the holes for the clips in the panel board for the kick-panels and the rear fire-wall. 47 holes in the fire-wall. Gary says that I over-build everything.

Are you able to get close to the car ? Looks like that is one heck of a guard dog.
