Question about interior on the headliner how far down does the headliner go down on the sailpanels or is there a hard panel that covers that area? does any one have pictures
?

70 sublime

It goes right down to the bottom
The flat tray that goes between the back seat and window will cover up the bottom end of the headliner in the corners

ok well a little update and question. The car is still in the process of getting blasted so no pictures of how truly bad it is. :brickwall: now for the question has anyone run the hotchkis suspension, torsion bars, and the tuned shocks? :scratchchin:

stormd

Well I pulled the trigger today and order the hotchkis tvs system and their  torsion bars.

I still have to order the hotchkis shocks to go with everything.  Then move on to converting to disc brakes.

Welcome and congrats... I got my 68 RT 5 years ago in the same condition. Acid dipped, new floors, 1/4's, from AMD. Great Quality Sheet Metal. She's now has new paint, vinyl top, and headliner. Slow expensive project, but well worth it.  :2thumbs:

Good Luck.

It is the complete tvs system along with torsion bars. The Hotchkis shocks will be here Monday and the car should be back from the sand blaster any day!
