Nice! I like the dash, and console.  :clapping: Maybe a matching wood inlay on the console? Lots of hours I can relate  :thumbsup:

tiny update.... after a few months of no work on the car ,I picked up where I left off... spagetti....  :P
I`ve installed all new wiring from Ron Francis Wiring and wired and installed the dash to stay in there  :bigshades:   things left to do;  hook up head-, and taillights,  wiring for the wipermotor, rear window defogger and stereo. Can`t wait to wrap al wiring in tape and finish this chapter...  :faint:
Even though I don`t know what the heck I`m doing when it comes to wiring, the installation was with no big issues. I like the quality of the fusebox and wiring itself. Took more time then expected to install though. wiring the enginebay is done best with the engine in there.....  :thinkerg:

While your wires are still not taped up.  Run a big wire to the trunk area.  I have a fuse block in my trunk that supplies power to my alarm module, trunk release, power antenna, 1000 watt amp, and a cigarette-lighter\power port for my plug in worklight or 12 vacuum cleaner.

door glass went in after cleaning all door internals up. I had to make new plugs for the front rail.  The original ones snapped when I removed them from the glass.  Also the soft guides were gone so I had to mcGyver a bit to get those like new.  The dynamat on the inside of the door sure does work.... I love the sound of the door closing. No rattles ,no sqeeks and no empty barrel sound ,closing like a vault  :2thumbs: 
It`s getting colder again....  :stomp:

Looks great.   :2thumbs:  I guess you did not have any problems with the dynamat interfering with the window apparatus?  I'm considering doing the same but was concerned about clearances.
