2766R Finally...
2766R:
Well it's been a while updating some minor progress on 2766R. Back in March I had new vinyl door panel and driver’s seat side and head bolsters patterns sewn up made from my tatty originals at AutoMat. I had them make up new sun visors. They used the old visor frames with new sewn up vinyl and foam. The original visors were a bag of dust inside the heat sealed vinyl 45 years on. Also ordered and installed new floor mats. Finally got around to repairing (fiber glassing) the door cards; they were cracked along the full length of the 90< bend. I made up new door aperture cards as well.

The original carpeting is a bit threadbare in spots but I can live with it as is for now.
Also touch-up the paint just as a temporary fix until a full respray can be done, tentatively late winter/early spring.

I’ve also ordered a crash pad (from Banks) and a new dash panel from CG Autowood. I had it custom finished with quarter sawn mahogany. It’s a little lighter than I had envisioned but with the rest of the interior being black, it will brighten things up a bit. These will be installed after the respray.
Now for few before/after and other pics:

I meant to include the new dash pic as well:

Looks good. Is your horn button new? I haven't seen a nicer one for a Momo wheel.

No, not new. It's original to the Momo wheel that I installed back in the early '80's. Of course it doesn't work the horn, they work off of the stalk.
