The doors now have handles, locks, window and window regulators and all new rubber on EVERYTHING. The side posts on the windshield frame were pretty scratched and gouged up so I have sanded them down starting with 120 then to 220, then to 600 and finally to 1000 grit paper, after which I polished with and aluminum polish and sealer.
I have stripped the old dash off the metal backboard and fitted and installed the new padded dash and mounted in the car. Also mounted all the light fixtures and wired them to the new harness. Now to order all interior panels and carpet this weekend.

Replaced rear axle's with the proper axle's meant for center knock off wire wheels. Also replaced the front brakes ( there is a difference in how far they stick out between center knock offs and disc wheels ) and installed new 60 spoke chrome wire center knock off wheels.
