I see where you are going with this and it is going to look like nothing else out there. I can't wait for you to finish it and get the headliner in. Looks great, man!!
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Any of you guy's with 33-35's running sunvisors (interior)? I got the Mustang catalog out to order the headliner, they have '66 sunvisors (same color as headliner) for$40 a pair. I never put them back in my'57 2dr HT and never really missed them. Just curious if they were really necessary.

I'll be sitting quite a distance back with my alterations.

You might need those sunvisors when your car is done and you are riding with your girl by your side off into the sunset...... ;D

I think I pissed her off already, haven't seen her since I said no to the "laying on of hands" a second time. Scared they might have brought out the snakes, lol. I'll have to get a new one now, or when it's done.
(I truly ment no disrespect to those using snakes in religious activities, just creeps me out) ???

Maybe try it first and see. I generaly pull over for a break when heading west about that time of day anyway.

I have a thing about sun visors, I don't like them as I'm tall enough that If used while driving they block my view.

Ah, she'll come around. If not, well that might give you a little extra time on your car. I went out with a girl whose sister-in-law went to a church where they talked in tongues. I was respectful, but I didn't get it. As far as those visors, I guess you can always add them later.

 Yep, she does tougnes too. I got in trouble for saying a friend of mine sounds just like that when he drinks to much whiskey.   ;D

Need to trim overlaps and get her welded up and sprayed(and the inside of the roof) with Total Coat before I put it back in. I'll insulate before I put the headliner in. One more panel to fab (center upper filler) we are supposed to get cold on Vetrans Day (34°) it was 78 today. Trying to get the inner sprayed before tues.

looks great, when you get that piece in all you will have left to finish is the center?

Thanx, pretty much. I'll have to put in the bear claws then I can set the lower rear panels. Then on to the doors, that should be alot easier, well vent delete/power windows, maybe not.

I put bear claw latches in, I used the pre made install kit and they went in easy.

I can't wait to see how you bring this interior all together. Bear claws are the only way to go if you are going to drive the car at all. Initially I was just going to leave the wedges, then I got a pair of the mini claws because I didn't think I had the room. Then I just put in a pair of the big bear claws.
What lower panels are you talking about, Sammons, the rockers?

These, I'll cut a hole later for the 6x9 speakers in them. The rockers are done already. I was really hopeing to be driving this winter, I hope it does as good in the snow as my old '69 Vette. It would really push snow with the tire chains on. People around here called it the snow shark :)

Oh, ok, I thought you were talking about an exterior panel.
I can't imagine driving either one of those cars in the snow. Chains on a Corvette? A 1969 Corvette :o

Yep, the snow shark would push 2 foot of snow (fresh powder) without much care. Had that car for over 20yrs. Frame still looked new. I really drive my stuff, rain or snow. Keep them clean, no problem. They don't use much salt around here. My buddy won't get his out if there is the slightest chance of rain.
