We spent the morning restoring cables and switches for the dash. The switches are in good condition and just needed to be cleaned and polished. The choke cable required a bit more effort. The spiral cable housing was rusted so we cleaned, sealed and lubricated it. We installed the overdrive, light and wiper switches. The remaining switches, cables and instruments will be installed after the dash is mounted.
The interior components shown in the photo to the right will be covered with carpet and vinyl. They were sandblasted and primed to eliminate rust. The panel in the foreground is the package shelf which is mounted underneath the dash on the passenger's side. The other panel is the shroud that covers the bell housing. A heat shield will be applied to the engine side and carpet to the interior side. All the interior components are now prepped for upholstery.
Talk with you tomorrow...
