Making progress, interior complete. Gauges, steering wheel, throttles and detailing of parts is next! Working on finishing up the engine too.

Thanks guys! It was a busy weekend... I finished painting and dressing the engine minus a new t-stat housing. I had to modify the new throttle body to accept the mercury throttle lever. Also had to get the adaptor plate milled since the old TB was 78mm and the new one is 90mm. I also pulled all the old gauges, switch panel, throttles and trim indicator assembly. The bezel for the indicator and the throttles will be painted mercury blue. The switch panel is going to be blue carbon fiber and the gauges are going to be Autometer Ultra Lite with blue bezels.
