    Hey Mark,

    The interior looks great buddy.  Are they original door panels or Elko ones ?

    They are the Palco ones from Elko.  Fit so far has been pretty good although gap at the window root isn't the same from side to side.

    I thought the Palco trims fit alright now.  They sure do look nice in the pics buddy.

    What is a "window root"

    By window root I mean the lower rear-most corner of the quarter window.  Panel is flush on the right side but about a 3/4 inch gap on the left side between the panel and the inner window trim strip.

    Well, apart from the hockey sticks and a few little fix-ups, my Barracuda is basically finished (built in Mar '70, bought in Mar '05, and completed in Mar '08).  It has been a long project with more lows than highs but will be registered by next weekend.  I'm a bit flat and drained right now by the whole experience but hopefully my first car show in 2 weeks will bring back the fun!

    That car turned out beautifully!!  You can be really proud of it, and should have a great response at any car shows you take it to.  Do you happen to have a before the wing and after the wing shot?  I still can't decide whether or not to add one to my car. 
    Nice job!!  :clapping:

    Man you got that car looking good. I just love the way you took your time in details and making things look perfect. That's a show winner. super cool. I wish I had the patience to do things like you did.

    It is so clean and beautiful, are you going to drive it quite a bit? Or just keep wiping it down.  Good job.   Come over and do your majic to mine.

    You did an awesome job!!!! That is a really nice car. You should be proud. Now go out and drive that thing! It is a long process to do that level of restoration.  :bigsmile:

    If I ever get back to OZ land again, I'll be wanting a ride!
