Finally found dash speakers that fit without to much majory surgery to the dash frame.
These are Clarion 3.5" 2 ways . They fit the grille perfectly, and I only had to trim the metal dash frame maybe 3/4" of an inch.

Vintage Air a/c box is all done and mounted using home made brackets to avoid drilling anything extra in the car

Dash is , for the most part done. and now in the car.

Used the metal woodgrain applique from PG, and gauge overlays from Mister Heater box

Yesterday I concentrated on engine wiring and ignition system cleanup
Due to the a/c compressor mounting location. Using the factory Hemi coil mount was out of the question.
So, I'm using a Accell coil
mounted on the rear/ side of the intake, similar to a 440 six pack mounting .
Fabbed up a bracket yesterday with some leftover 18 gauge stainless and a bench vise. It's not super pretty, but once painted and the coil is mounted. You not going to see it anyway.

This is the coil I'm going with. And once the air cleaner is on it your not going to really see the coil anyway, which is kind of the point.

Bill, do you know what the chrome paint was that was used on inside of tail light housings ? Looks good in pics - what is real world look with brakes applied - does it reflect nicely - thanks - Joe

Well, The body is out having the vinyl top, Ft and rear glass and headliner installed I turned my atention to the interior trim.

My customer decided not to wait on the upcoming new interior trim panels.

So, I cleaned, cleaned and cleaned again all 4 of the originals. dyed them with Sems brand vinyl dye with an adhesion promotor. Should there be a problem later one, he may re-evaluate the new ones.

I think they came out great, these were not perfect, but very nice used originls.

Car is back from the trim shop. Had the top and headlier installed. As well as polishing all the exterior stainless trim. New windshield and rear glass installation

It's starting to look like the mans dream ride. Tires and wheels are just rollers for now

Getting the underhood A/C system mocked up and trial fitted, so far I'm impressed. It took a little bit of tweaking on the hard line to the drier but thats about it
