Above left shows the fascia with the new padded front cemented into place. This new dash pad is a good solution for your cracked fascia. One thing to watch out for - fascias, that have the glove box, have a rigid foam block on the passenger side that forms the area around the glove box door. While removing your old padded front, be careful to NOT cut into or remove the rigid foam block. This does not come with a new dash pad. The photo above right shows the fascia with instruments in place. More work needs to be done here to finish wrapping the new dash pad around the top and bottom and place the switches and heater controls.

Left shot shows the new windscreen glass and frame placed in position. Like a lot of others that have worked on their windscreen, I found this to be the most frustrating part of the process. Also shown, is the cockpit as it is now. I'm starting to ready the wiring harness and all other items behind the fascia before I install it.

Photo above left show the new heatshield in place. Middle photo shows the carbs positioned and some new braided gas lines in place. Above right shows the reconditioned air cleaner assemblies in place for a test fit.

A couple of photos show the current state of the engine compartment. And, the new Falcon stainless exhaust system.

Be sure to click the links above to see the finished product and some more recent photos from shows and events.

The series of photos to the left show the progression of the car from a front view. It's hard to believe, but these represent over four years of progress. Some might say "What's taking so long??"

This is Moss' Light Tan interior kit. I was happy with the overall results and the quality was pretty good. I believe the instructions could have been a little more detailed and give some helpful hints. Now that I've done it once, I'll know better next time.
