Coming along nicely. I will have to do all of the same on my Roached Runner someday.

getting this trim fitting now, this is the time ........ put a slice in each sail panel; they're about 1/8 too wide. Seen this before, so it's no surprise

Nice!

So I have not been slacking on my end. The Dakota Digital gauges came in. Got the dash pad and headliner form Legendary, and today blasted the correct 70 valve covers I picked up at Carlisle. Have a little body work to do on them.

no worries..... I'm the current slacker

No, your fine. Got to balance the work and your car matters too!

it keeps me mentally stable.....I need to jump around

I would rather my car take 6 months longer so I can see yours get back on the road!

I've been multitasking these jobs 3 at a time for the past 12 years or so....... one more won't make much difference, it really doesn't need much, just watch

When my friend was having his 70 V code GTX done,his 75 year old body man didn't want to hear it when I told my friend to tell him to test fit the rear window moldings before painting the car. He said I been doing this for over 50 years,that kid (meaning me) doesn't know ****. But my friend was persistant about him test fitting the moldings on the AMD quarters and dutch panel. The guy grumbled something about the kid being right after he saw how the moldings fit.

I wonder if it's full of red dirt

 

[T2R9]

I bet it all fell out!

 

[moparsaver]

Looking forward to this week!

 

[eldubb440]

it's been a couple weeks; so I thought I'd go ahead and install the rear window to get a jump on things...... I hope I'm not getting ahead of myself

Nice that you have a spare piece of glass to test fit along with my trim!
What the heck is this update before midnight???
Love the little notes around the panels, shows attention to detail!

I never see this trim fit properly on these cars. It just requires a little trial and error, a bit of slicing, and a lot of patience.

When I actually snapped the trim on with the glass in there, I got all excited and took some pics........ plus I was thirsty
