I'm finally starting the next project.. THIS IS DONE!!!!!!!

[BIGSHCLUNK]

...the weather here is finally in the 70's! So I made it out to the garage. I got this idea back when we did the trunk floor, come up with some sub-frame connectors. We're gonna try our hand at the design phase and go from there. I think that was the easy part..  I pulled NIIKI'S inside out (so to speak). Her floor's original, and IMO looks good for her age! But now I'm thinking...  .................

Getting my front belts redone. Sharon's Web did the rears last year and turned out great, got a question about those tho...


Who's got the best price on an interior screw kit?? Found some nasty looking mis-matched screws.

Gotta fix a crack in my console, think I have a plan for that!

Anyone ever polish up their sill plates, what did you do?

While I'm down there I could use a new brake pedal trim, dont recall ever seeing it anywhere?

Can you get the insulation behind the front kick plates without buying a whole kit?

I started here....

[BIGSHCLUNK]

I already got some replacement parts for the console from mopardave and quapman! 

[BIGSHCLUNK]

Any body got an extra seat nut I can buy?? The one on the right can't be correct??

Are my seat belt retractors correct?? They work (datecode nowithstanding) but the two small screw holes threw me off... 

A little work on the floor and POR15 is my thought. Shes not a show car!

Mothers polish for alumminum should work for the sill plates.

If you don't find any seat nuts I'll send you some if you give me your address. Let me know how many you need. Your seat belt retractors look just like the ones in my 70 Cuda.

The console I have has the same exact crack.  Please be sure and post however you end up fixing that!

Thanks,

Hey Jeff thanks for the offer, just need one! I'll PM you.  So your saying that maybe the correct retractor?? (70?) What are the two small holes for?? They appear to be treaded. But nothing was in them on either side. Also Does the bolt look correct? All of the others have a bit of a smooth shank on them.

my car was stuffed with house insulation behind the kick panels

i think those small holes are for a white plastic that goes over the retractor and under the carpet

[BIGSHCLUNK]

I talked to Sharon at Sharon's Web today. She says my retractors are correct!!    So they left FED-EX today!!

Good luck with the resto! Going good so far

[BIGSHCLUNK]

I've been researching prices on things like interior srew kits, rubber visor tips, ect. Sometimes to save time I can understand an extra 2 bucks here and there (if your that cheap, buy a shevvy) but some of the price differences are $25 / $45 ..   I cant help but think are coming from the same sources in yinyang china someplace...

Correct me  if you have some experience here..
