Interior coming together

[stickshift_or_walk]

Slowly, surely, some progress is being made. Before you holler at me (yes, we cut the dash ), this is a father-son project to build a driver that he's proud of and knows how to work on, so we took the "it's your truck - build it into what you want" philosophy. It's our first automotive project together, and definitely my most involved to date!

Here's a shot of the semi-gutted interior a few months ago. The walmart bags are to cover the electical connectors during washing/painting activities.



Here's how it looks today. Still not finished, but somewhat less rustic. A/C is Old Air. We covered the floorpan with Q-Pads (similar to Dynomat), then 1/2" insulation pad under the vinyl floor cover. I'm still holding out for a new shift lever for the 4spd, but the outlook is not good.



Dual amps, six speakers, plus 10" sub under the seat in homemade downfire box. All Pioneer. Paint is a few shades lighter than the factory blue, we think it works well with the black dash & headliner. We're not big fans of green.



Homemade gauge upgrade. We used diamond plate aluminum to fill in the radio drepression in the dash. That way you can't see the shaft indentations.



Kudos to Tim @ Christian's Classics for his great support, and to everyone here for help and ideas from the board. My boy's really excited with how it's turning out, so let us know what ya'll think!
