Yes, the sides will be as you suggest. Again I will rob from Fountain interior... it looks good and is functional. The difference will be how I work the back seat.

I think I can do the sides without glass work so I'm going to postpone those and get the dash finished (painted).

In these pics I'm trying to figure out how to morph the molded steps into my dash. It doesn't have to be nearly as pretty, just functional and not an eyesore or trip hazard.

Great Job! ! are you doing all the work yourself or do you have some buddies helping? Looks like a ton of work.

Thanks guys!

No fasttimes, I wouldn't have any friends left if I got them involved with this itchy mess! When my son comes home from college he likes to help... mostly with the greese monkey stuff though (which has been an equally daunting project). I helped him change the engine in his car and now he has the bug.

I once hired a 'glass guy' to help make the back of the transom flat and get it ready to paint... I paid him to just leave!
