Looks like I lost somepics too.    By the way, I am on line at work and my PC at home caught something that won't let me get on the internet.   Bad bug.   Anyway, I won't be able to post for a while.  May be off line for a couple of weeks until it gets fixed.  But that doesn't stop the progress.   Am currently working on the rear window interior trimmin it out.  With the SE version I am having to do some strange framing parts to cover the area.   I Will take pics and store them until posting is possible again.   By the way, the virus came off some Christmas Screensavers site.   Don't know which one....................... :banghead: :sadwavey:

PErsonally, I've always really liked the original tips. The new ones look nice, but there are dozens of other designs from a lot of other manufacturers that have a similar look, while the originals are pretty unique.

Installed a set of horns. Working on the interior panels now.  The kick panels turned out great and the A pillar covers too.  Took a couple of pics  to update the exterior.

Speakers installed, rear interior panels, back seats...........Front door panels yet to do.

Strange thing  about the back seat bottom.   I had to bend the metal rods that snap into the floorboard brackets.  They measured about 9 1/4" from the rear metal where the hog rings install to the brackets.  I increased the meaurement to 10" and this tightened up the seat and made it recess back up under the seat back better.  And since Barry helped me with which way the seat belts bolted back , I finally was satisified with the install.

Thanks guys.  I know the seat belts look kinda rough but I was worried about if I dyed them, the dye would rub off onto someones clothes.  I think the SEM material would be even worse.  Good for panels but.............And the music............I got to get me a cd with.............BAD TO THE BONE    and play it real LOUDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.
