Looks fantastic Joe! With those temps you just gotta crank the AC in that big block!

I went with the one from SMS. They made mine from NOS materials. Better quality & fit than some of the other I saw. More money too...like double+....Joe

LOL yes they are pricey. This is the dark blue swatch SMS sent me for a standard interior. Is it perforated like this on yours? I thought the original fabric was more like a fluted or corded texture.

Also, were your sun visors likewise done by them?

How's your car coming along Joe? Did you get the door panels to fit?

Can't get the door panels to fit the way I like them. Fixing lots of little issues. Vertually anything that could leak did. Fixed all those. The meter valve I rebuilt for the brakes failed. It's at Mike's (the booster guy) to see what I did wrong. Had to take the console out which is a pain in a th400 car. Had to take the front bumper back off as it had a little flaw in the paint. Taking the wheels back for rebalance as they put stick on weights on the wheels. I only have about 100 days to get this dialed in. Seem like a lot but it's sneaking by real quick. Sorry to leave everybody hanging but I'm still working on it. Thank you, Joe

I haven't had much for pictures lately but the engine compartment is coming together. Not much room left after everything is in place. Sorting out a/c & heater hoses. Haven't been sitting around much. Just lots of small stuff that needs attention...Joe
