It's been a while since I gave a update. Started assembly with the firewall pad, Raingear wiper system installed, full wiring harness installed, brakes fully operational, and front sheet metal attached.

The fuel and brake lines are now all installed along with the radiator and overflow tank. Also the steering column and wheel are hooked up.

Looks great love a longroof, the gloss on the dash might be a little hard to see. The glare off the windshield can be a problem.

Too much rain around here in the PNW.

Tailgate now installed and the finish date has been set as Oct. 25th. Then onto the upholstery shop.

What are your plans for the upholstery, stock, pleated, diamonds, and color?

I haven't made my mind up yet.

But I have started on the exhaust.

That's looking great. It's making me want my 1964 Dodge wagon back.

Busy last week. The exhaust has been installed and the trans cooler is all plumbed and ready to go. The driveline was made and installed.
This next week the glass is getting installed and also the speedo gear for the speed sensor.

More progress this week. All of the glass is now installed.

Glad you got the glass in with no breakage...looks good

Looking great, nice to see progress being made. Looks to me like that curved rear glass could have been tricky to install.

It's getting closer and closer escaping body shop jail.
The doors are done with the final adjustments, tailgate and lift gates are installed, the sound deadening is installed on the floor and doors and the left front fender is still fighting us with the fit with the hood.

Beautiful project. I absolutely love it.

May I ask: Why did you install 1955 dash stainless rather than 1956? Just personal preference? I prefer what you have too but I know some guys are sticklers about details like that.
