Dash is out. Looks like there was a water leak in the drivers windshield corner. Mostly surface rust with a tiny bit of rot that is hidden by the dash. More sanding and priming before I “fat mat“ everything. Got a replacement wiper motor and linkage coming.
Found out something interesting about the car. The owner before the one I bought it from is originally from Detroit, and the son of a Golden Commando. He owns a speed shop in Portland, Maine.
I got this wiring harness from Kwik wire. Looks like a nice kit and it cost $350. Its a generic kit, by no means for restoration, but allows for expanding for modern engine wiring needs if I chose to go that way someday. Dad put one in his 68 Nova and said it was easy to install and they have...
The trunk also looks new. I wire-wheeled the surface rust, primered, and coated it with truck bedliner. My daughter got in there and helped spraying satin black on everything else.
First order of business was to pull the interior. The front 60/40 bench is a little rough and its that sky blue color inside. I may change it
The floors were replaced by the po (he’s a welder) and he did a fantastic job.

What about...
Im converting my 318poly/push button auto Polara into a 440/4-speed and was wondering if anyone here has done it before and could offer an outline of the parts/process you did. Cutting the floor for a hump change? Suspension/brake upgrades? Clutch pedal assembly and linkage? Things like that...
The car is currently a 318 poly push button auto but will soon be a 440 4-speed. The 440 is 10:1 with stage 3 cast iron wedge heads. The car as a little surface rust here and there but overall in great condition. Someday will paint it back to white
