I started in the back of the car. Rear seat removed and recovered with new foam. I bought 2" foam, big mistake. Very hard to get the cover on the seat bottom, but we did it. My wife had to help push. Used 2 layers of Dacron batting on the seat back.

New trunk divider and package shelf with a pair of 6"x9" Kickers installed. Used cheap sound deadener heat insulation with a foil face, on the roof, under the package shelf, inside of the trunk divider, and the floor under the back seat. Painted the lower door and side panels, and all the trim using Mopaint #200 white. Installed a pair of Polk DB42 4 1/2" speakers in the kick panels. Rebuilt the door hinges and all 4 window tracks. New roof rail weather strip and outer Window seals for now.

The green upper door panels are ebay replacements. Nice enough condition. Not sure if I want to do them in the same Mopaint #200, or use a whiter white on them to match the New seats that I am getting from Procar. Will have to spray the rear seat in the whiter white, or spray the new buckets in Mopaint #200.

Looks fantastic! Hey how is the dome light mounted?
 
It mounts to a tab above it with a couple sheet metal screws.
Mounts to the roof skin? I assumed they mounted on the cross rail thats why I was asking as yours doesn’t look like thats how you have it.. Do you have any pictures?
 
Oh I zoomed in looks like you have a cross brace. That’s different than my bbody as it doesn’t use those.
