Hi Larry & Delma,
It's on the way.
MrMike
A little work on the dash...
Well, a lot of work on the dash.

( Note the tap handle shifter )
It's all coming together.
The seat back trays were
painted, Zodiac inserted, and 'signed'.

Sometimes we show the car
with the headrests on...
and sometimes with Coca-Cola
bottles, cans, and glasses
in the headrest holes.
The same with the rear seats,
headrests on...

( Note the maroon welting
in the headliner )
or headrests off.

( This picture shows the doors
before I re-covered them
in seat matching Zodiac Red )

Here are the doors now:
custom panels in Zodiac Red,
surrounded with Silver-Tinsel welt,
with Coca-Cola bottle caps,
and upholstered armrests.
The carpet I put in is the
80-20 loop like the older cars had.

( Note the Silver-Tinsel welt
around the console )
I am glad for your instructions to lay the carpet,
I think you are dead right about laying it
over the old to help support it.
This is a throw rug we bought at Wal Mart
several years ago and have been saving it
for a special day to installed it.
It seems to blend in well.
We just got back from Cruise the Rockies 6.
They had 147 cruiser and we won the award
" Coolest of the Cool Cruisers "
We went to Salt City Rod & Custom
and came home with a trophy and $100 for best display.
We went to Newton Down Town Car Show and took
First Place and Best Of Show.
I was shocked, never thought I would out-do the rods.
I am still stunned.
We never would have done it without you.
 Just got my new dash done and installed.
Got another one off of eBay and redid it,
so now I have two I can change back and fourth.
I like this one better then the painted one.
Where does it all end hahaha.
Oh yea also notice my new shifter.
Thanks a Million, can't ever thank you enough.
