:aok Lookin' good. How about that mopar graveyard in Alabama? I've seen them featured recently on the TV show Muscle Car. I wouldn't be surprised if they had what you need. (The name escapes me at the moment :oops: )

It's been a while since the last post but things are still moving along. The painting is complete and she is waiting to come home. Unfortunately some 12 inches or so of snow has prevented that but I am hopeful that we will be able to pick her up this week. We have to get started on the interior!
And speaking of interior here is what we have......
Seats!!! This is the before, new cushions and covering is on it's way!!!

We also picked up some other various parts: Headlight bezels, wheel lip molding, carpet ordered and most importantly a console! Bill has been polishing almost every night and still has quite a bit to go. As soon as car comes back home we can start looking at fit and begin to order additional interior parts.. Moving right along!!!

And since she's been home Bill has spent more time in the garage then sleeping! Didn't take him long to bolt on the bumper brackets he repainted. Also couldn't wait to try on the headlight surrounds he has been polishing for weeks now!

The seat coverings are on order and we are working on the brackets and other pieces for the console but in the meantime Bill wanted to try them in for a fit... This is going to look like a completely different car!

Well it's been a while since I updated and there has been a LOT going on!!! That list of things to get her pretty for the show in March is getting smaller and smaller. Almost time to start thinking about what we are going to do with the engine.... Here's some of the progress...
January 13th was Welding day.... Work on the center console, getting rid of the bench!
