Nice work! How do you get all this done so quickly, are you retired?

I try to get several hours a week on TCST but it’s taking forever!

Moving on, few interior shots. All the firewall panels (3) are removable, so figuring out how to install the carpat while hiding edges and attachment structure took some time. Used some anodized aluminum tile edging as termination trim. The rear window upper panel was a challenge, made from aluminum sheet to fit around the openings. The hanging cable knob closes the center window and the knob at the window top is the latch. Headliner was eaiser that expected as were the A pillars.  On to the dash and wiring it up, not anticipating a fun evolution there.
