I've been a bit lazy posting progress but I did get a lot done. Front and rear glass is in and side glass. I think the quarter windows and I agreed to disagree. These things are a huge pain in the *** to align. I thought by leaving the regulators in the car it would make this go that much better but to my surprise it did not.
Also all weatherstrip is in. These were metro for the doors and roof rail. Door fuzzies are from Legendary and were not branded. I had some minor adjustments to a couple clips that did no line up. I was shocked at how stiff everything was, slamming doors, pushing the window gasket into place, struggling to roll up and down windows. Crazy. I pushed the car out in the hot sun the other day with everything rolled up and closed. Now everything is starting to relax and things are working as intended.
I also got the interior all installed. I still need to paint the the steering wheel and the lower cover on the dash. The console chrome needs some love too, or replacement I should say. When I detailed all the console parts I was ready to accept the chrome was too pitted but it looks like I gotta drop some more $$$ on console plates.
Next up is the front and rear along with wheel trim and rocker molding. I think next I'm going to get the brakes filled with fluid and bleed them. Then, get all the underhood wiring done and maybe get this thing started for the first time since 1980 something.
