Well today starts the last of the restoration of my Challenger.  I have taken all of the interior out and the new Ron Francis wiring harness has arrived.I am starting by removing the old harness and then will be replacing with the Ron Francis mopar retro kit. When every thing is working as it should then new carpet and dyna-mat. Also I will be doing my own upholstering. I am going back with the original look set skins from Legendary. I am also adding a console to the interior with a B&M quicksilver  rachet shifter.I am using a  4 speed console plate that clears the Quicksilver shifter nicely.I am having the shifter modified for the pistol grip that I got from Resto Rick. Then I am using a straight drive shifter boot so i will have the look of a short throw maunal  with the auto trans. Wish me luck as I will need it. I only have 3 weeks to completion because Borla Exhaust is having a large car show at their headquarters and they are expecting over 1000 cars.
