After getting the engine running I decided to do some work installing the interior components and some exterior components. One of the little side jobs on this car is getting all of the small components put back on the car so there will no longer be a bunch of small parts scattered around the garage and/or in the car itself. Its those little things that lend to the feeling of completion in such a large project.
The first thing that I put back up was the pair of sun visors and the rear view mirror. These were held up with a few screws each. Of course I had to dig out some screws from my stash to secure the pieces but once done, that was one less thing to worry about. The next thing I wanted to do was install the interior panels that go right under the side windows. This involved installing a base piece that screws to the interior structuring and the panel snaps in place with clips. Before I can secure the base panel I had to secure the molding at the bottom of the side window first, since it involved putting screws into the molding from the inside, at a slight angle since the side window, even when fully lowered, was in the way. With that, I ended up doing the moldings around the windows first then finishing up with the base panel and the interior top panel. I will more than likely fabricate some lower panels with some surplus paneling that I will use for a base and some type of material most likely for the skin.
