It's interior time! Dash, seat, steering column...they're all here! I figured the first easy thing to do was to replace the headrest bezels and headrest on my already covered Driver's seat. I recovered this when I got the car, which......HEY!??!?!?! That was 3yrs ago to the DAY TODAY!!!!!!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
I'll install this later today since I have new seat riser spacers that just came in. They are 1/2" thick spacers that go under the seat track and provide a thicker surface for the anchoring bolt to sandwich between the track and the floor pan.
New headrest installed with new bezels. The originals are OK, but they sort of lost their shape over the years and the chrome band around it is less than chromey.
Dash is up next, and I am able to use all of the dash pads! The center has some scuff marks that I'm going to try and repair. If I can't do it, that may be the only piece that needs replacing.
Glovebox installed with the correct "4F OK" stamp....which, if you think about it...doesn't 4F usually mean NOT ok? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] I'll get a better picture of the stamp on the next round of dash photos. Kind of hard to see with the flash.
New knobs installed. The rocker switches use drive pins, very very VERY tiny, pins that hold the rocker switches in place. It took several attempts to get them out and back in without scratching the new chrome plated, plastic, Chinese made rocker switches. Luckily, it all worked out. I'm rebuilding my clock right now with a quartz movement, so that's on another bench so I don't lose any of the parts. New dash bezels arrive Friday!!
