Fitting the carpet but I wanted to get an idea of how it's going to look... overall I'm happy and it looks way better than it did!

Now back to heating and gluing the carpet. Some windlace in the same material as the insert in the doors and the center cabin will be done. I need to figure out a dash, my plan was to tuck and roll like the seats and tops of the doors but the material isn't as flexible as I'd like so I am looking for alternatives. And a package shelf - I think I've got this one but first things first!

For the first time since I bought Frankenstein I feel I can approach him without getting a tetanus shot!

Seats are in, glass is in... its maiden voyage was last night to get fuel. I ran out of fuel - I thought - so I ran home because I was still close, grabbed the truck and a daughter and pulled the car back to the garage. Turns out the fuel filter had pulled apart so the pump was pumping air. I replaced the custom Mr. Gasket chrome filter with an OLD Mr. Gasket chrome filter that is all metal rather than half plastic half metal. Started and ran to the gas station.

But the fates have frowned upon me. The power steering pump failed. It is now groaning loudly and I'm sure it is on its death march to oblivion.  so once again I have a garage queen until I get a new pump. On the bright side it looks good!
