     Next we insulated the upper dash frame, it kinda looks like the factory style of padding. :popcrn:
"Let me explain something to you, um i am not Mr. Lebowski, you're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the dude, so that's what you call me. That or his dudeness, or duder, or you know, el duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing."

   And three new gold anodized heater nuts for the firewall, sweet. :popcrn:

   And check out our new P.G. Classics taillights, they're sweet & necessary for a high $$$ resto. :popcrn:

The 2 lines poking out of firewall I think should be natural brass color instead of black. Besides that looks good. I see you still used the original red nuts on wiper arms & the added the touch of the black plastic firewall plugs showing on firewall showing the fine detail when these are usually painted the (wrong) body color. LEON. :2thumbs:

   Then we test fitted our new B-7 blue P.G. Classics dash pad, I really dig the quality from P.G. Classics. :2thumbs:

    Let me tell ya, those black plastic firewall plugs are a real bitch to install, even with some white grease, they don't want to push through there. After that, the Jack Daniels bottle pictured above slowed our progress down to a crawl, so we BBQ'd a rack of baby backs. :D

  We're still in the trenches, but we just keep on keepin' on. This week we're installing a new front windshield & a new back windshield. Can't wait :popcrn:

   Sure why not, it shields the wind.

    The late George Carlin once said..."I keep hearing that irratating voice on the loudspeaker saying..Get on the plane, get on the plane, well I say F*#$ you, I'm getting IN!! the plane, there seems to be less wind in here. Let Evil Knevil get ON!! the plane".

    We had a pro install the new front & back glass, the front windshield looks sweet, tinted, & water tight (we'll see about that). :popcrn:

   Next we have to polish & shine about a mile of stainless steel window & door trim, this could take a while. :icon_smile_big:

  Anytime, come fly down & look at it first. The SF. to SD. flight isn't too long. I'll be the taxi. :D

   Here's the new disc brake master cylinder. The Road runner originally had 11" drum brakes, so we bought the front disc conversion for it.  :popcrn:
