The interior kit was purchased from an upholstery shop and I had hoped the panels would be fabricated and ready to install. Not only were they not ready for installation, they were not even made correctly. But, no worries.
I used the original plywood panels as patterns and attached the new panels to the original frames. It gave me a chance to flex my carpenter muscles. They fit perfectly. Now all that remains is covering the panels with red vinyl.
Even though it is Sunday, John spent the day at the shop. We are a few days past deadline on paintwork and we are trying to stay on schedule. We really appreciate the great work John is doing and his dedication to this project. John is one of those people that actually takes pride in his work...a rare find these days.
While John was painting the front fender coves and trimming the rockers, he found the time to paint the cooling fan shroud. As original...
This engine compartment, my friends, is the epitome of attention to detail.
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.
