Replaced the dash face material on top and the basket weave on the face. Gonna look mighty good when it is all back together. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

So after the last post I figured out that the upholstery shop gave the dash face a couple of holes I didn't need - like on both sides of the cigarette lighter!!! So I ripped that off to redo it myself. So in keeping with my plan to always keep moving the job along, today I did a couple of chores. Reinstalling the outer rocker covers came next.

I thought this would be a simple bolt on procedure. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) No such luck, the damn rocker covers must really be pushed on and then you have the problem of trying to align the holes for the three bolts along the bottom and the two bolts - one on each end that go thru the rubber donut and into the clip on the car. This job had me wishing for a lift. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

You probably can't notice, but I also added the windshield washer nozzles on the cowl. And, I borrowed Eric Sander's (Partsman) rivet gun to add a few pieces back on to the car. Plate on passenger side headlight box. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)

Here's the plate back in place. Also riveted the VIN tag back to the A pillar.

So the next big push will be to finish the interior of the car. Chris Foley helped out by sending me a barrel nut needed to mount the driver side arm rest and a clip for the dash/instrument cluster. Chris - how about some pictures of the engine build? Trying to get it ready to join back up with the engine real soon.

When it gets too hot, I cool off in the pool for a couple of hours and then do a little more. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

There is so much dust and pine tree pollen on the car I can't resist washing it off when I roll it out of the garage. Working on the interior today. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)
