Here is the rear wiring harness including the part with the plastic sleve that lays in the driver's side gutter. All cleaned up and inspected. Clips refinished correctly and finally the whole harness re wrapped in the correct friction tape.

Float towing splices remain...

I thought that the sound deadening material was the same as the original underlayment that was under my carpet.

Here is a pic of my trunk before the material was removed.

And here is a picture of the material under the drivers seat before it was removed.

Same top layer but no Jute bottom layer in the trunk on ours. I have part of the original left. I will dig it out and photograph the bottom for you.

Yours looks the same as ours in the photo. You can see the tar on the edges in the trunk photo but no jute (white) around the edges.

What I know is that the stuff you can buy from Repops isn't correct and its coverd in sand and it undesireable to me so anything better than that or home made has got to be preferable.. also: I think the tar bleeds through the paper on originals so it looks very different from when it was new..

In 2005 I removed the interior of my 67 black 30,000 mile coupe I have had since 1974, looking for a build sheet, which I never found. Did not remove the headliner, as it is perfect. All the floor sound deadeners were oozing brown oil, and were crystalized into a solid hard piece, no flexibility left in them. Removed all of them, and put all the pieces in a box somewhere. Replaced them with the ones from Repops, even though I was greatly displeased with how the Repops looked and the thickness. The one good thing about the ones from Repops is they will not retain water either. In another thread here at the site, the process is discussed how the original sound deadeners were put in place before the car was painted, and after the painting was done, the car went into a baking area, and the floor sound deadener was melted into place. No aftermarket process is going to come close to matching the original process, at least none I can think of. Though if anyone can come close to replicating it, it will be Phil.

There are two versions of underfloor insulation available. One that is mentioned above with the sand which is far from correct , as well as what they say is "like OEM". It Should be available from most parts sellers.

There are lots of pads out there.. Q-pads come to mind and all that stereo shop and pro-tour stuff too.. I think getting the texture, thickness and color right are the key..

Column all rebuilt and ready for a steering wheel

Great work Phil. For guys who have their cars together or those working on them, even those who aren't doing anything with their car currently, seeing the work you've done is an inspiration to all. Keep sharing please.

Staying strong with the super details! Your under dash is going to look stellar

There is no part of this car that won't look stellar!

Progress curious bump

Yes Me too.very curious...want to see what other stellar work you have acomplished?

me too

Any new progress?
