It's been a while since I posted on my restoration, but rest assured that it is full steam ahead in spite of being winter in Wisconsin.
For starters the car is finally at my local autobody shop for final bodywork and paint. Tomorrow, one more coat of polyester primer followed by more block sanding and then final House of Color sealcoat, then final sanding and paint. I'm thrilled about the progress at the body shop after just two days plus they (he) allows


me to help out.

 

Very impressed with the quality of these seat covers and foam which I purchased from Legendary interiors. 1970 Center console restoration is also progressing nicely, (originally black)

 

Car is now back from painter and bucket seats ready yo be installed. Will attempt to post pics from my Google Drive

 

 

 

 

Nice work ,keep pictures coming

 

Yes, congrats on the progress you've made!

Looks like a job well done... Best time to do that kind of work is in this type weather so that you can enjoy the fruits of your labor come spring time...

 

Bucket seats installed along with new convertible top. Next steps include new brakes and center console w/Shifter install.

 

The ram rod decals are a nice touch!

 

Thanks. I ordered two decals but I received three, so I put the third on the trunk lid...My goal (eventually) is to upgrade my stock 350 2bbl setup to Ram Rod/W31 specs, unless a 455 comes along....

 

Nice ,That white top make the green paint pop

 

Almost ready to actually do console install

 

Have console wiring harness installed but no neutral safety switch and backup. Can I initially run without the switch? Also not sure about potential issues with old column linkage removal and steering wheel lock after I removed old shift lever.
All advice is welcome...

 

Looking good! Looks to be same color as my '70 b-body. Green mist in Chevy language.

 

You got me jealous ! Looks good 👍

 

Your car looks great. I just bought a 69 delta 88 convertible. I’m lookin for a good repair/reference manual. Any suggestions?

 

There are two manuals highly recommended
1. 1969 Factory Service Manual (two volumes)
2. 1969 Assembly Manual
I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have. Good luck...

 

Thanks for the help. I may pick your brain more in the future.

I already love the car and am looking forward to plenty of time behind the wheel.
