Pulled most of the interior panels in prep for installing the motor. Car out of the garage for the first time to turn it around for engine install.
Front accessories & serpentine belt installed. Engine mounts & headers installed.
Last thing for today, started to work on the dash. Covered it installed instruments & the first two switches. Tired
Wearout faster than I used to, being an old fart sucks, but its better than the alternative.

Flywheel, pilot bearing, clutch disc, pressure plate, cutch fork & throw out bearing installed. Power package ready for a trial fit.
Tremec TKO-600 5MT
Finished placing switches & instruments in the dash. The two bare switches will get the same bezels as the other switches. The hazard & Heat bezels are backordered. They are NOS & reproduction parts from a 67 Bronco.
Radio, vent pulls, vent fan switches, USB ports & a pair of 5" speakers will go it a sheet metal unit I am building to go between the bottom of the dash & the top of the transmission tunnel.
It will be covered with the same material as the dash along with the top of the trans tunnel.
Son in laws are here with my daughters for Mothers Day; will see if we can getaway with dropping the engine in tomorrow morning.
