Dash was done by Julie at classic car plastics in Wisconsin.  She is great to work with and does a great job.

Rimblow steering wheel was done by Dave Tays in Indiana who is also great to work with. Here is his site:

Very cool. It looks like you have a pretty nice base to build from. I'm looking forward to following this thread.

Interior is now naked, engine bay and firewall is now naked, car is loaded and heading to Reisinger Custom Rebuilders in Evansville tomorrow or Tuesday.  One thing i do NOT do, is body work!  Time for me to start working in the blast cabinet, cleaning parts, painting parts, etc. and continue to round up needed parts!

As I started sandblasting more parts today, I noticed I have two different style headlight buckets.  First one is a bucket I took off my 70 and blasted.  Second one is a bucket I bought off another member that was supposed to be for a 70, but as you can see the spring hooks up differently. Any ideas on which style is correct for a 70?

That looks fine, I wouldnt worry about it.

Your front fenders look like they have actually never been off the car as you can see what looks to be the original factory braze where they meet the rocker panel, the passenger side probably was all dented up and thats the reason for the filler, since there is no rust on the bottoms and the drivers side condition is good.

Filler on the hood is probably due to dents underneath, not rust. Rear quarters are also good, 95% of the original body style lines are going to be able to be left on the car just some sections of repro panels need to be welded on since there is probably sheet metal patches and brazing under that filler.

The higher up patches of filler on the sail panels are probably covering up pounded out dents and not rust, given how rust free the rest of the car is.   Thats going to be straight forward stuff for a good body shop.
