That two slot terminal plug is for the reverse lights,

Yep, I found it on electrical diagrams, thanks.

But not the two cables near that.

Reverse lights restoration :

Before




I started by sanding the exterior and polishing the chrome side. Then masking and metallic paint.


Semi gloss black on the exterior

No problem!

Packs still blocked in French customs 

I'm waiting for the shop manual to have some information.

But someone can tell me what kind of screws I have to put to bolt the dash frame to the body?




I don't want to make a mistake and have an interference with the windshield gasket.

I'm waiting for the rear bumper brackets too...

[Baldwinvette77]

i welded my dash in place (i couldnt find screws that fit) so i cant help you

But awesome job so far, almost makes me wish i waited for a nicer car... almost 

[PtitRaisin]

I found that on DC.com

Very nice build!! Can't wait to see more!  I noticed when u posted the under car shots that it looked like ur frame had been pulled or repaired.  Do you know anything about what happened to it??

[1965gp]

Great progress- can't wait to see more.

I don't have any history on this car.

A message just to say that I'm not dead.
I'm working and working and working every night to reassemble my little jewel.

A pic of the interior remounting :


The console isn't painted yet, but I tried it in place anyway to test if the butchery I did on the center will be hidden.
Carpet adjustment is not my strong point.

[Baldwinvette77]

Whoa dude O.O

[Mopar Nut]

Carpet adjustment is not my strong point.

Looks good to me.

[XS29L9B2]

very nice works 

[PtitRaisin]

Thanks!

I don't give up and continue to work.

I repaired the steering wheel.







I hid the metallic parts to repaint the wheel wood color, and I'll varnish the whole after.
I don't know how will be the result but I save a little money before buy a new one at the same time of new meters and gauges for my dash.

Here is the interior, carpet cut and adjusted.


And the restoration of my console.

[Baldwinvette77]

Cool 

[Mopar Nut]

Looks good! 

[ChargerSG]

Result of my steering wheel :





It's not new, but defect are well hidden.
