Well, you probably saw pics earlier this year of our midwest version of an organ donation of an interior from one /6 to another. The graft recipient survived, after many weekly transfusions. My heartfelt thanks to good and tireless buddy Gary, as scrub team Keith, Tom and Glenn. Couldnt have done it without you guys. Yes, I'm done (for now) and very pleased. What follows are before and after pics.

How did I do it. I took some very experienced guides on this trip. With one great buddy, 3 very good new buddies, alot of skin donated from knuckles and of course some $$$.
No, honestly- we removed an entire dash without flaws and replaced that. Then had an authentic beige interior repaired and 'refreshed' the color. Added original tan felt carpeting. Added original leather steering wheel, shift knob, flawless gages, knob bezels, heated back window. Rechromed 2 bumpers, replaced one bumper pad. Replaced hood springs, adjusted engine lid tension, drilled and installed passenger side mirror, installed an original early rear view mirror. Redid the Fuchs wheels. Then suddenly it was the month of May. And now its time to drive!!

That's a footrest that came with the early cars. The footwell is longer than the later, cars, the passenger seat is fixed and this nifty device afforded the passenger some meaure of comfort. Try buying one today and see what inflation has done to the price!

I like the roominess of the passenger side, you could practically curl up and sleep down there or....... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

Hawk,

That interior looks tight! Nice work.

The bumper is awesome. If I can ask, what was the bumper rechroming charge? (I have one coming in my future)
