Yesterday, my post was devoted to the installation of the dash and fitting the grille. However, the dash and front shroud require a bit more work than can be accomplished in one day. So, we spent the day fastening the front shroud to the chassis and completing the wiring underneath the dash.
Fastening the shroud to the chassis is not difficult, only time consuming. This operation required almost half a day...small fasteners in limited access areas.
Fitting the dash to the cowl is only a small part of completing the instrument installation. I realize, the dash looks much the same as it did yesterday, but the majority of the work lies underneath the dash. As of the close of business today, most of the wiring under the dash is complete and all the gauges have been installed.
The archive listing of this blog contains detailed step-by-step photos and narratives regarding this restoration since it began late last December. Please direct any comments and questions to tommystoplesscars@yahoo.com.
I love this car...
