Now it's time to wire the whole thing back up. We cut all of the wiring out - and I mean completely! There were butt connectors, splices, untaped wire, wires taped with duct tape, scotch tape, masking tape - and even some with electrical tape! Found used harness' on Ebay for a nice price and you can see one of them in the side view of the newest pictures (it is almost hidden so you have to look hard). More to come...

August 7, Got a few more items done. Purchased a bench seat (from a 1969 stang) and have had it recovered in 1967 seat covers (front seat tops not done yet - having to customize to get em to fit!) and have the backseat in (until i get it painted).

Also, I have put in some dynamat in the front floorboard, brownbread extreme under the front seats, and behind the back seat. On top of that, I have installed 2 sets of sound deadener/heat shields that are after market copies of the original asphalt deadener. Sure...it adds weight but it'll ride much quieter now!

And WHITE FACE GUAGES. What a pain to put on! But I think they look nice. We will be finishing the interior soon and then getting it ready to paint!
