The dash installation was not as easy as a 70 version in my opinion nor does it fit as nice. Many thanks goes out to Phil Woj for supplying me with over a page of step by step hints with regards to the best way to install the dash with regards to what goes in first followed by the next. After installing it I am glad he did it as I would have done it in a different order and it would have caused me major headaches.

The gauges were all rebuilt but the faces are original and only needed a careful cleaning. The dash still wears its original paint, only the chrome trim was redone. The tach and monitor were both purchased from members as our originals were in very bad condition.

I also included some detail shots of the radio mounting for those that might be able to use it.

Tomorrow the headliner will go in. Then the carpeting will be laid in, cut and seamed under the seats. Once the seaming is done the sound deadener will get installed and then the carpet. I am having the stencils for the PPG glass custom made and as soon as those are done I will acid etch them into the glass and install them and the door panels.
