A little progress.  i got my emergency brake unit back from being rebuilt by SMS.  those guys did a fantastic job!   it's a shame that it will be hidden behind the kick panel!  They did my rearview mirror too, it came out like new too!



Here is a pic of the overhead console.  I haven't had chance to change out the visors yet, so i get too them one at a time. the headliner guy that did the install needed something to help keep it in place.



Brake booster (finally got a correct MC - Just haven't slapped it on yet), and a close up of the previously installed wiper motor.  Shout out to Kim at http://www.passion4mopars.com/  Great Job!



Got the fan on.  The clutch came from AutoZone.  I was amazed at how many replacement parts are still out there!

VERY Nice!  You build, you ship and sometimes you never get to see where they ended up.  Thanks for the shoutout and thanks for the opportunity to see where it found a home.  That is gonna be one fine car!

Installed the door glass today.  What a difference nice, clean windows will do to a car!!

Well, i guess i am never too old to learn something new.  '70 quarter glass units are different that '71.  i had (temporarily) misplaced my '70 units, and thought that i would install a back up set that i pulled from a '71. good thing i found my original set!  While the '71 set will work, the stainless trim on the leading edge is riveted to the bottom support piece.  the '70 unit is screwed at a location further down, AND the stainless trim is wider on the inside, but the outside is the same.  I never would have guessed they would be a one year only thing!
