    The color looks really different depending where the car is at (inside or out in the sun).

    A little more progress! Starting to assemble things before the dash goes in... SMS Auto restored my peddles, and E-break. I restored my heater box myself, not perfect, but it looks good.

    No paint on the heater box.... it had blue overspray on it from an old resto job back in the early 80's, so I used some solvent, and just wiped the entire box down, and the original finish looks beautiful. It still has some factory inspection stamps on it in tact too. I put all new foam/seals, etc, and it looks good. I will get the dash pics up shortly!   :ylsuper:

    It's looking good.  I love that blue!

    Thanks for posting those pics of the insulation and heater box installed - I'm getting ready to do that myself, so I saved them for reference.

    Man that is going to be a gorgeous car! The undercarriage looks clean enough to eat off.
