Looks great. You should be proud!
Definitely a car and workmanship to be proud of.
Well done.
Thanks for the nice comments. Taking my time to try to get it right.
Excellent detail work Simon, getting fiddly things like the package tray/headliner juncture so smooth takes patience. Truly a pleasure to see your progress. Gemini is such a beautiful color, too.
Its a rainy day here is Southwest CT, but tomorrow is looking good with a temp forecast of 78 and sunny for the LimeRock park 39th Historic races. Today is concours, so I hope it isn't too wet up there for the cars.
Spent a few hours taking it slow on the inside and threshold, including new white nylon rivets...now those were tricky trying to get the little pin into the rivet - but it went well. Still need to finish up with a few inside things..Handbrake, Rear tunnel, under dash wiring, seat belts, etc etc - I'm sure you will see some other items...The engine installation isn't far off....100% all original Spec except for the chain tensioners. Thanks for the nice comments.

Stunning and then some, congrats :cool:
So a few more pics....One item I did not keep original was front seat belts. I have installed reels on this 1971. Waiting for the hard to find collar to arrive so I can fit the steering wheel. The leather tab sticking up above the rear seat needs to be attached to the seat back.

Note to self next time - pre-mark the location of the sun visor holes...
