Looks stunning!
I bet it must be a nice feeling to look at the UC tail lights under the bench and know that's where they're staying!

Thanks all.

Fitted the Dynomat and LX dash. Looks good.

It was a very interesting task as all my parts are a mix of UC and LX.

Fitted the glass with all new rubbers and started on the interior and hood lining. I was amazed as i had old tinted glass so i hit it with a razor blade and detergent and the came up nice. The tint protected it from scratches over all the years. Dove grey leather!

While i dont condone the chopping up of uc's, it is looking pretty good. the dynamat almost looks too cool to put carpet over!

Thanks all.

 

I am aiming to get her to the pits in November. I still need to get $$$ for exhaust and drive shaft.

 

Did some work on the motor today. I want to test run it before i put it in the car.
