More Project Progress Pics! Post yours here!

Rev-it-up and Redline work the interior and do a lot of painting.   Some of you can name all the hanging parts.    We put the grille up just to have a look at it and to line up some things up.   Quarter glass installed, interior, rear panels, headliner pieces, seat belts, and finally seats back in.....   whew!   We ended up sitting back there and pretending we were going for a ride! :driving:

  Daaang, that's sweet looking :thumbs: :thumbs: 8) You've got to spill the beans on how you installed the SE headliner - special clips if any and all that. The devil's in the details  ::)

 :grinyes: I'm green with envy!!! Looking awesome, have you fired it up yet? Keep the pictures coming on this thread so we can see it going together the rest of the way. Not enough E's in SWEEEEET!!

My car is in the hands of a college student in auto body. Crossing my fingers, they are going to do what they can, I don't expect it to come back painted but will probably get a few of the things done I was having trouble with.
I may have posted this but here it is again. This is all I did the past few weeks, had this for about 8 months now and haven't fired it. Wish I could put a sound bite or a video here but here's the picture anyway.

Thanks everyone.. you are so kind.   Now show us some of your progress pics.   Carlisle will be here before we know it!
TFN -  Headliner.......
1. Get a permit to allow 4 tons of airborne particles to blow downwind from your work area
2. Sand off the old foam/glue/dust
3. find the blackest headliner material you can find a fabric store
4. use the heavy dutyest 3M adhesive you can find
5. Spray newly prepared surface on headliner boards (including sides) and back of headliner
6. :coffee: read a page or two of Mopar Muscle (5  minutes)
7. Apply and roll out with 6 inch roller.

Attaching Overhead Console.....  we attached it to the headliner using the existing clip/screws but used stainless fender washers on the top to spread the load.

8. the headliner is fixed by Mirror screws, Visor screws, Shoulder Belt Clip screws, Garment Hook screws and the main center support is from two screws in the front of the frame of the light housing in the console.

9. the sides are held in place by the black trim peices, and the back is held by the opera window trim piece.

10.   :beer:
