My 70 300 TNT Convertible

[straightjob]

I just realized I have yet to post a new thread about the 70 300 convertible I acquired from @ayilar several months ago. Here is a recent photo of the car after I drove it around a bit and replaced the boot cover:

Later on, I'll add a few more photos and also discuss the my progress with the car. Here is a photo of the car the day I picked it up from @ayilar :

Road trip?

Have been working on the '70 for a few days. Installed a NOS points / condenser set (thanks @halifaxhops) and new Autolite AP-85 plugs. The plugs I pulled out were at least twenty-five years old and No. 5 was totally fouled.

In addition to the above, I also installed my newly restored headrests. They were redone by AMS Obsolete. They did a fantastic job; I think they are better than new. Here are a few photos:

Stan: I sent the old headrests to AMS on July 25. I received them back on 10-24.

That's not a bad turn around time at all, they look great.

I don't know. . . Some months ago, I talked to Murray Park who said he sent SMS door panels for a Desoto Adventurer more than five years ago. Don't know if he has them back yet.

Even Legendary is way out too. My buddy who brought the 69 Super Bee for me to paint said They told him almost a year for 69 B body seats and door panels. They've always before had them in stock.
