I have been working on the glass. I got the windshield in, and it cranks up and down! It would have been a lot easier if I had taken it apart. Thanks again to Moose. He got me some good info.
I don't want to say how many windshields were cut. I should have started at the glass shop I finished with.
The rest of the glass is blue that has been tempered. The back glass also goes up and down.
Tomorrow I'll put in the drivers door glass.
I'm starting to work on the interior, making panels for the upholstery, I'll have the shop sew up the material and I will glue or staple it to panels. This may be delayed due to his gallbladder removal.
I'm wishing him a safe recovery.
I'll get the pics straightened out later,
Mike

Mike,
Nice work! I only had to cut two windshields (I cracked the first one I put in while installing it). The back window going down is your 32 air conditioning

I got the headliner from the upholstery shop today. He did a great job and gave me some tips on putting it in although I'm sure I'll make some mistakes on my home brewed interior before it's done.
He sewed some material on the seams that I stapled to the wood.
The dome light is 40 Chevy.
I had a lot of fun working on it today, starting to feel like a car.

I used some peel and seal on the inside for sound deadening. On the top I used a foil faced foam with adhesive already on it.

I'm making some of the trim out of 1/4" birch plywood. I cover it in the same black vinyl the rest of the interior has.

I made a master cylinder cover out of some sheet stainless. It's attached with countersunk 1/4-20 screws into T-nuts.
The gas pedal is from a Rio quarry truck. The brake pedal is from a White straight truck.

I got some 57 Pontiac ashtrays to use as storage compartments and add a little shine and 50s feel to the interior. I'm mounting them below the 1/4 windows. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get enough guts to start glueing in the parts.
I got the trunk handle back from the chrome shop and a few other pieces.

Slow progress. But I got the headliner completely finished. Hopefully tomorrow I can make the door panels.
