Thanks guys If only I could start up the monster, even thinking about hooking up the dashharness and go for it if the dash isn't ready
very very soon. Finalised the electric for the engine today and filled up water and tranny oil. The engineharness goes under the
manifold to keep the look a little bit cleaner. The reservoar for the servopump is realy a bitch, you have to poor really slowly and turn the pulley for circulation otherwise it floods over. There is no way to know how much you have in it.

After filling up the radiator the other day I jacked up the front for some work under the car and discovered that my new heatercore is leaking.
"Inspected by M1" the sticker says, Am I lucky I didn't get my dash ready yet and started up the car and making the waterdamage worse. Maybe I should have pressuretested it first but I didn't, lesson learned the hard way.
This project has definetly learned me a lot about pitfalls when restoring a car, I hope I will use these learnings in the challengerproject.

Would have costed me 150$ to repair the new one so I pressuretested the old one and it's fine.

I just read your entire thread here, slow night at work. Thanks for the inspiration and walk thru of a rebuilt on these cars. Mine is still in the really early stages buts its great to see what it can look like in the end. Can you put up a pic of the car with that black hood you said is going on the car?

The car will have the stock hood, limegreen to start with. The new AMD hood I will cut open when I have worked off all restpoints I guess I will have
once it's running and driving. I have no hurry to put the scoophood to the car.

Finally got the paint alright on the dash, only took 3 months. Started to put in my "new" instrumentcluster restored by "lilwendal",
had it in my homeoffice for 2 years just looking at it. Mike really performs great work. The rest of the bezels will need some small
adjustments and the CD player also needs some thinking for best possible mounting on the back. I will assemble as much as possible incl the harness
before I hang it in the car and then it's start-up time.

that thing looks great!!!

[john.v]

  looks brand new. top 

[Belgium R/T -68]

Continued with the new dashpad that had a very good fitting although I heard otherwise but maybe it differs from vendors. Heatercontrol,
dashvents and the VIN-plate is also in place now. The rest of the day will be spent on the harness with a lot of breakes for coffe because
it's getting cold in my garage and finework like this doesn't fit my body having poor blodcirkulation.
