It's been a while since I posted. Ran into many parts that needed to be restored before I could proceed with other larger parts installations. Above is a table in my workshop with a sampling of original parts from the car that have been restored. Took a ton of time, but now things are starting to move forward again with the install of the restored pedal assembly, accelerator linkage, steering gear/column, underdash wiring, radio, and dash mounted controls.
This is an issue that needs to be fixed before installing the nylon grommet assembling the pedal assembly, otherwise it will break again. . This was worn out by the clutch helper spring .
Steering shaft and box installed.
Now here with the column, turn signal wiring installed. Good look at the original firewall pad (restored) too.
Original radio, restored. Something cool about this being back in the car just like it was that day that Bill first drove the car and fell in love with it. Note date installed date of Jun 19, 1964. Interesting given that we have a body panel with the same date on it.
The air vent know is interesting. 64 1/2 cars have the "A" of course, whereas later production cars did not. What I did not know what that the "A" is stamped into a small piece that snaps into the knob.
Finally getting close to installing the engine...
