Congradulations Neil, your car is looking great, keep the pics comming. By the way what leaf springs did you put on your car? Mine are starting to sag. I can't decide wheter to buy new or rebuild and re-arch my originals.
Thanks

I used a set of the original XHD springs , I have not decided so far if the car will sit high enough with them or if I am going to add a leaf to them , the orignal springs did sit too low
 
Day 6 , full day today , very little got accomplished , My friend came over & we installed the vinyl roof , , it took most of the day , Polished some of the chrome in between , installed the chrome around the windows , drip rail chrome ,hood & fender chrome  , started to install the chrome around the vinyl roof but I do not have the correct fasteners so I am on the hunt for them , they seem to be a 8 - 32 nut with attached washer , was going to install the headliner but my friend didn't bring any insulation to go above it so that will be next week now

Yeah I know I am taking my sweet time & working on it every second day or so instead of just getting it done
 now my body bumper kit is the wrong one so I will have to get the right one so the project slows yet again !!
 
Well Day 7 & it was a short day , got started too late after locating the correct nuts to hold the belt trim on around the vinyl top which is now on tight ... not the easist to get to for sure !!  . I did manage to get all the side  glass in & adjusted as well as the upper seals & the weather strip at the bottom of the windows , installed & adjusted the door striker pins , also installed the chrome trim on the top of the doors , installed the headlight buckets & lights , need to get the door seals cleaned so I can install those , headliner sail panels & rear window plug will go in on Thurs as well as the Pkg tray

UPDATE PLEASE!  :jumping:
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Well no progress today , I went to work on a 69 Road Runner & fixed a few bugs with his car today , I also went to the parts store to try to locate parts for the Road Runner & & few obsolete brake parts for the Chall at the same time so the day got by without getting the Chall worked on .

Did your headliner sail panels have the clips in them? These are a pair i got from an SE years ago; i always thought the clips used were the same as those found on door panels :dunno:

You might want to get a photobucket account? It would be nice to always have picture access to your build? I finally broke down and figured out how to do that.
