Is that bright blue repro vinyl? How well does it match the LeMans Blue? Sorry to be so nosy, Just trying to gather some info from those who have it.

So, what is the proper sequence for resto? What wa the biggest mistake?

As far as sequence issues....everything from installing the dash pad first before any other dash stuff....to installing the engine last, not while it is a rolling chassis....to jambing all body panels and doing final paint AFTER it is in place back on the frame and aligned...just lots of little things!


Here is the glove box installed and the before pics...

Really??? Installing it last, huh? This is about the point I'm at on my Jimmy and I thought that getting the engine/trans/transfer case in would be a big help to get it rolling around easier. Interesting. Any other tips?

Yea...If possible I would have probably installed the trans and transfer case on the chassis but did the engine itself later....Just gives you a lot more room to work on all the firewall, brakelines and engine bay stuff....It also made it a lot heavier to move around and I was really tight on space.....those cheap ass car dollies form harbor freight wouldn't move a well equiped bicycle.....
