OMG!! I just remembered I was supposed to look for that PS fitting for you! The polished piece looks good. Have you zinged one back at yourself when you get to the end yet? I'll look for the fitting tomorrow.

I have had one zinger that (fortunately) did no damage. But, it did reminded me of what NOT to do. I got a small cut on one finger yesterday from the trim but it was because my hand slid down it and I got snagged. Not from buffing. Sent you a PM JD. but I picked up a fitting already. Thanks anyway!

after polishing them to perfection, are you going to coat them with something like RPM or Zoops to provide some abrasion resistance from normal wear and tear? I've heard amazing things about RPM, but haven't tried it myself yet.

Hey Tav! To be honest, I really had not thought about treating it with anything other than polish.

Here some more pics as promised. I cleaned and installed the driver door latch and adjusted the striker.

About a month ago, I finally found an originally fan shroud and brackets. Wouldn't you know that it was FINOKE that had it. This car is starting to feel like a Race Car and when I post on it I'll need to thank my sponsors. So the JDMopar, Finoke, Moparts Challenger T/A Replica is really coming together and I can't wait to get out on the track.

Here's the Fan Shroud from Tom. A little power washing and it will look like new.

As I had mentioned, the Drivetrain Sub assembly is coming together. I recently received the fuel filter from Dante and will need to install all the fuel lines from the pump to the carbs. I also still need to install the linkages for the carbs. The suspension is done but I still need to install the rotors and calipers. I'll change the air cleaner base to the correct one after I install the engine.

Today, I started with the headliner install. I glued in the headliner insulation and began working the headliner. I left it in the sun for an hour or so then began installing it using tips from RestoRick. They are excellent. I still have some stretching and tweaking to do but had to stop for the day. I haven't done a headliner in a long time but it's shaping up.

That's all for now, more later.

Joe That drivetrain and headliner are looking sweet good job. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Lookin good Joe. I used Ricks instructions too, when I did the yellow car. If you haven't already found out, be careful of the teeth that hold it in the front and back. They're kinda sharp and will make you when you stick one half way thru your finger tip! DAMHIK

Finished pulling the headliner wrinkles out and began installing the drip rail molding and c-channel trim. I'll have to post some pics of that later since I did not have my camera battery charged at the time. Had to have something done to my back and was told to "take it easy" for 2 weeks by the doc.

So I took it easy and began working on some of the interior stuff. Cleaned the sunvisors and detailed them. I also took the mirror apart and redid it. Here's the before pic.

Here's the after...

Did you repaint the metal on your mirror and if so what color did you use? Looks good.

I used this...Seymour Stainless Steel

OK, I had most of the pieces for the rear defroster with speaker option but there was one bracket that was missing. My friend sent me an original and I had a guy take some metal strips and bend the correct lips onto it. I then finished bending them to match the originals and drilled the holes. Since these are not reproduced, I think they came out pretty good. The original bracket is obviously the one in the front.

This shows the bends the guy put into them for me.

Joe,
Nice work...
Ray

That stereo defog bracket looks excellent Joe! You might want to make a few extra to sell as reproductions.

Tav

Thanks Ray and Tav!

I cleaned up the interior metal trim and got all of the old window sealer off. Finished cleaning them, primed then painted. Also, picked the door up from the painter. So. I'll get it back on the car shortly.

Joe

Any recent updates or pics?
I hope you remembered to paint the window channels black before you installed the front and rear glass rubber/caulk rope strips. I forgot to do that on my back window and now you can see the orange along the edges of the glass on the rear window.
