    Fabulous pics from 121 Rod & Restoration of everything coming together. I really like the padding on the roll bar and the panels in the trunk

    Looks good Bill.
    I've seen the 'before'. Guess I need to swing by and check out the 'after'.

    I agree... that is an amazing change.


    Bill, what are the tabs on the roll bar for? Is that where you are planning on the 3 point seat belts connecting?

    Some of the nice extras include a cover for the roof to body seam to cover up the attachment holes. It is velcro'd works like a charm.

    Also really pleased with the roll bar padding, it zips on and off

    Also happy with the way the console came out

    The trunk was an exceptionally nice accomplishment. I did not take a pic of the false bottom. You can see the pull in one of the photos. I like the panels on the side as well, they cover up the shock access holes.

    What an amazing transformation on the interior. I wouldn't have picked that color, but seeing it in there I think it looks awesome. You're going to have a beautiful car when its done.

    Thanks, other really cool touches are the padding in the floor beneath the pedals.

    Kory is working down the punchlist, nearing completion., front fenders are on and color sanded, needs to finish the mounting hardware, electric windows, and roof to body electrical work for the wiper motor. Also we worked on shining up the grill.

    Looking fantastic, can't wait to get to that stage as well. Any tips or tricks for the wiper wiring and how you snuck it through the hard top down to the body would be appreciated!!! TY!

    Getting down to glamour shots now. Dan's on vacation so I have to wait until he returns to get the window sweep solution he came up with. Once done with that, final adjustment of the windows is all we'll need.

    Probably coming home next weekend. Today I cleaned the undercarriage off and we bled the brakes after replacing the front brake lines. Only things lacking is the custom installation of the window sweeps, wiring the electric windows, weather stripping, and final buffing/paint touch up. I am certainly stoked. Wife insists on pin striping to so we need to work on that as well.

    Weatherstripping on the doors. We also had "Daniel the Pinstriper" put the pinstripes on today. He kept it simple, single lines on each side with a tip at the backside. Signed the artwork for me. The Green tape was to aid him as he lined the stripe up. The color matches the interior color.
