heater control has been refinished. I also ordered a bunch of "little things" I needed from year one. Time to get my rear end in gear! Lots of updates coming in the next few weeks!!

I also got this cool "digital media receiver" for infotainment. A sony DSX-S100. Face flips down and plug ipod in and enjoy. No CD. I probably won't put an antenna in it (I had the antenna hole filled on the fender). Maybe I'll do satellite radio later. I got a trick dash speaker bracket here on moparts that goes in the stock location and houses two 3.5" speakers. I'm going to run RCA cables and lines to the back of the car and figure out add'l speakers later. I am NOT cutting my doors or my rear interior panels, maybe two 6x9's in the convertible top well, and a small subwoofer that looks like a nitrous bottle.

Car is coming together... I can't wait to see it. I got this radio at discount auto Dual at Discount . I got the 200 watt version for under $34. No Ipod, but it does use an SD card or USB thumbdrive. It has a small size for easy install and a remote control.

Last night, got some time, and got the holes drilled for the '70 rally center caps. First one didn't go so well, and the rim has a few extra holes there By the time I got to the last one, I had it down pat! Now the fun part, stripping and refinishing the rims! (and yes, it will get brushed beauty rings)

It's labor day weekend. I'm working today (Saturday). I'll have my kids for part of Sunday. Girlfriend is in th ekeys with her family. So after the kids go back to my ex, it'll be just the car and I, spending quality time with one another!
I tell you, I love working on the car when I want to, it's very relaxing and peaceful and fulfilling. When I feel like I HAVE to work on it, it takes the fun out...

Dash speaker adapter (made by Jerry Landes, member 74sport) installed with 3.5" speakers to replace the 4x10 dash speaker. Gotta get the radio delete plate cut to match the opening for my head unit (Sony DSX-1000 digital media receiver).

The top of the bracket was painted black so it doesn't stick out as much (or reflect on the windshield for that matter)

I have been thinking about drilling some holes too. I thought that I would put some clay on the wheel and press the center cap into it to find the centers. How did you do yours?
I took a manilla envelope and cut it apart to use the paper, and laid it over the backside of the center cap, marking the holes. Flipped it over and marked the lug nut holes.
Then I took it and cut out the holes, put the template on the rotor-side of the wheel, and marked the holes with a sharpie, and drilled away..

I kinda like the center caps and trim rings. As of now, I have the cop wheels in satin black and chrome lug nuts on my convert. The 275-60R15s really look sweet on the back. I'm probably going to replace the 235-70's on the front to something a litter smaller....just not sure yet.

Hello all! It's been quite some time since I've updated this. Once again, life gets in the way for me.. I finally am able to focus on the car again, but this time I have decided I simply do not have the time to work on the car, so after being on a wait list for over a year, I finally have the car with my friend Richard Romanelli (the good one, not the scammer), who did all the body and paint on this car, so he can finish it. When I get it back , I only need to worry about carpet and door panels and minor trim.

I have had the car in storage for almost 4 years, just waiting to get worked on again..
Already ordered a ton of new parts needed to get moving with this. Richard is going to do all of the electrical and mechanical. He's done several of these B body convertibles and is an expert!
