Decide to actually do some projects I have had planned for Goldie, for over 2 years. First is to install a 6 way power seat I bought from @MOVE N UP. He told me it worked, but today was the first time I actually ran some juice to it. It worked perfectly, now I just need to get it cleaned up...

Since day 1 I have been trying to get my console lid to stay on. The spring is so strong the crappy nuts never hold on to the studs. I finally came to a revelation to thread the studs with a 8-32 die and then use a lock nut. For the first time ever the console lid fits nice and tight. This...

I won't go into all the details but I have been trying to get to my shop several times last week and various things popped up. I finally got there today and install my restored console. It hasn't been in my car for nearly a year. It took much too long to install, because I didn't make any...

I bought my carpet from ACC Carpet through my upholstery shop. Now I know why he didn't get the mats also from ACC they don't make them for my console '66 300. Does anyone know of a company who will do custom mats, with my bulk carpet, or have a pattern for my '66 300?

I will hopefully get to work on some of the details of the interior the beginning of next week. I looked for bulbs I took out and can't seem to find them and I know I broke a couple. The ones I need are the main 2 round ones in the console, the 2 that light up the floor in the back panel...

Ross pointed out to me yesterday holders for the rear seat lap belts. I like the neat clean look it gave the back seats. I know it wasn't an option for my '66 but I was wonder where I might find a set of them. I don't even remember what the car was that he pointed them out to me, but I know...

Finally I get to take my car to the upholstery shop. He just finished two cars and has a few more days work on a fire truck, so then supposedly he will be able to work solely on my 300. I finished the trim I have last Friday. I am very happy with the polished stainless trim and how it looks...

I have removed the steering wheel on my '66 300 and want to improve the function of the horn. What areas need cleaned up? The back of the steering wheel center? Is the small copper wheel in the center the connection for the horn?

I wasn't planning on painting the lower dashboard this spring but my upholstery guy is still at least another 2 weeks until he can get to my car. Maybe it is a blessing in disguise because now I can complete the interior. Basically is there anything that might trip me up when removing the...

I dropped off my interior seats and panels to the upholstery shop and made my final decision on the vinyl and carpet. It is a great feeling to be making the progress on the car. I still have the car and I am finishing the body work except for some new metal and a dent in the door. I plan on...

I think I know what it is. I believe it is a vacuum device that control the air flow from the defrost to your feet, am I correct? It lost its 3 mounting screws and was dangling below my dash.

I made it back out to the junk yard in my area. I was only about 10 miles away, the sun was out no breeze so the 30's felt just fine. This yard had a 65/66 New Yorker and Newport. I bought these 2 door pulls. I am still amazed at how good they look. These cars have been sitting outside for...

I couldn't be happier with my lifetime Ohio resident. I finished removing the interior including the carpet today, there is virtually no rust at all under the carpet. Yes! I didn’t have the same results when I restored my MGB’s interior a couple of years ago. The carpet pad is even in great...

Here is the situation. I have started dissembling the interior. I have come across that some idiot tried to remove the back panel without first removing the seats and literally tore a section of the panel that was mounted to a bracket for support. They also ripped a crack at the arm rest where...

I now have until the end of January to get the car painted. I have a spot on the upholsters list. I can float to the end of February if I need to after that he is booked until June. I feel this is a doable time frame for me. I am staying with the factory colors of tan vinyl and an antique...

I want to go talk to an upholsterer in the next couple of weeks, so I can get on his list this winter, so my car will be ready to go by spring. Here is my dilemma. I don't really care for the color combination currently in the car actually I like most of it except the vinyl color. The second...
