Awesome car! Keep the pics coming. Like to see some more pics of the dash and gauges, as I'm looking to do something similar.

Got speaker wiring installed through the door jambs this week and also installed door jamb switches for the dome light. For some reason this car didn't come with door jamb switches or holes for them, must have been an option back then. Also snapped a few pics as I had to pull the car out a bit and move the AMX to work on the door jambs. Also got the 401 block and heads back from the machine shop this week.

Hey I was wondering how you did the visors. My american the plastic tabs that go into the rear view mirror. They broke off the visors. Do you know how to fix it? Yours look so darn good. Is why i'm asking. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. As far as the visors go, I had several sets and picked the best non broken ones. I then used vinyl dye to get them black (they were white).

Nice work and very detailed from what I can see.  Are you creating an SC/Clone?  And if so, are you going to have the signature RWB headrest?

I originally bought the car with the intention of doing a clone but changed my mind. No headrests, just the emblem on back because it looks cool.
