Since some of my original posts I have done the following to my car.
Gutted interior, removed console, all seats except drivers', removed carpeting, all interior trim pieces. Basically everything.
Sanded the whole car down with a pneumatic sander, removed the windshield and rear window molding as well as the roof drip and side moldings.
I also found a guy who is going to patch up the floor issue, re-seam seal everything, paint the inside of the car, and paint the outside of the car.
I am getting my money together to purchase a new console, shift plate, stereo, speakers, grilles, headlights/xenon kit, steering wheel and other goodies.
Can anyone tell me their opinion how difficult it would be for an interior shop to remove my standard steering wheel and install a new Formula wheel? I also would like to know if in the course of restoring you guys' classics, did you also purchase new moldings for it? My Moldings are in decent shape, but I wouldn't mind getting new stuff for that extra shine. I also want to know what you guys think about this; the guy who is going to paint my car for me mentioned using "fiberglass" to fix up the floors for me, what does this mean exactly? Does this stuff spray out or what? I would like to know... Also, in the process of sanding the car down, my father and I removed these nasty after market hood pins that the previous owner installed, so now there are holes in the hood, but I guess that could be fixed up with some bondo.... Does anyone have much experience with installing a xenon headlight kit on his car, because I am thinking of getting a xenon kit with some angel eye housings... One last question deals with the dash pull bar thing. My car doesn't have one, is this normal for the formulas? Thanks a lot guys...
EDIT: I learned the hard way when stripping the paint with the aircraft remover to USE GLOVES!!! This stuff burns the skin like you wouldn't believe... AHHH the pain. haha. But, lesson well learned....
Pictures from last week... I'm going to take it all down to bare metal if I can before I send it to paint man.
