Really looking great. Appreciate the attention to the details.

 

Very nice. Paint work is excellent. Wow

 

Lot better than factory. And the right guy on the motor

 

Looks great. Awesome work.

 

So that's where the nos ball stud boot went. We've been trying to get one to repo for everyone. Most impossible 4 spd part to get .

 

That should be displayed at the Smithsonian.

 

Very nice work by all involved.

 

Holy mother of God..... that looks awesome. The pictures are super helpful to me.

 

Wow what a beautiful site..........

 

That's no joke !

 

DL - I was not aware you were looking for a ball stud boot to repo. Years back I did show this to a rubber company along with a drawing of the frame side boot/seal. I never did hear back once I told them the low production levels, I think they wanted to be in the 1000's of pieces when I was at 300 for first run.

Thanks for all the props - adding some more pics here shortly

 

Drivers side all finished..

 

Quarters installed and now ready for final priming then paint sometime next month....These quarters came out perfect, they look great.

 

Finally got around to completing the shorty console. All chrome parts were re-chromed, assembly pins, brackets, original hardware etc were re-plated. The housing was re-painted and the flocking was very nice with little wear just in a few spots. The pad/emblem is a reproduction and fit pretty nice.

 

More shorty pics...

 

Final pics - all polished and ready for car

 

Terry,
Excellent work, what factory color was this born with? Love all the detail work .

 

Tony,

Factory color was Polar White Code 50, Black Interior, Black Top, it's being painted the factory color.

Thanks for the compliments, much appreciated.
