More body repair

I finished up the drivers side body repair over the weekend, just need to create the new rear wheel openings then I can move on and do the same to the passengers as well.

Gauge panel

I cut the holes, mounted the gauges & ignition. I need to clean and paint everything then make provisions on the old cowl tank to clear the depth of the gauges.

Lokar nostalgia shifter

I've been waiting for this part for some time. I was finally able to order it from Summit yesterday and as usually, it arrived the next day - so I wated no time installing it. I did a full write-up on the H.A.M.B. as well of the install. Below are a few highlights;

Gauges & ignition

Just got my ignition switch, oil & water gauges so I decided to see how they are going to look/fit in the stock gauge cluster. I need to do a bit of work to get them to look the part but I think this is the layout I am going with.

Quick picture update....

Misc items - it's mockup time

I am on a path to put everything on the car that is supposed to be in there so I can get some of the fabrication items completed. Radiator, gas tank, lights, headers and other items have been put in place to I can start with wiring, mechanical, lines, hoses and all of that good stuff. The headers are not the final exhaust setup as I plan on doing a dual lakes style header setup on each side.

roof/visor work

Not too many updates but that doesn't mean things aren't being done. I am getting into tedious tasks now and have shied away from any deadline at this point as I am trying to get things exactly how I want them. Here is the drivers side roof to visor work in progress.
