It was so nice out today and I needed to clean the shed out so I pulled the car outside and decided to take some pics.

back asleep
dash work
insulation in
Since I have the insulation on the front floor I am now ready to install the carpet sometime this week. I made good progress this weekend with getting the dash pad and sides on then getting the insulation on the floor over the lizard skin. I dont plan on going back any farther with the insulation because i think most of the heat comes thru the firewall and I sprayed the whole interior floor with the lizard skin.
Felt good to see the car outside! It was only a 25 yard backup and forward to get it back in but it handled great! Notice I still have sticker tires on. No spinning them yet! The hose hanging from the back is the drain for the gas neck. Just havent gotten around to trimming it off. Told the neighbor it was a ground strap because I was putting an electric motor in!

Yea, I had to put tags on it last year to drive it home so I just got normal tags. They are good until July. I havent decided if I am going to get another set of antique tags or if I will stay with the standard tags.
