cleaned up under the bonnet and repainted k member where it was over-sprayed.steering i have converted to power found out that the column is too short.the new box i fitted is power it must have been a manual before thats why the column is shorter.

took all day to make and plumb the brake pipes. fitted a proportioning valve to the rears. i had one and if i fit discs it will save me redoing the pipes later. good news is the brake bleed well and i have a solid pedal.seats came but i ran out of time to make frames.

i thought the outside colour should be body colour , unless your vehicle came with the decor package and as such would have brushed stainless cappings.

hi 68 roadrunner (richard?) we are talking about the inside of the post should it have a trim panel. i have posted a question on the restoration page with pictures, your help would be gratefully received thanks.

think your right duncan found this poor picture but i watched a video of a car for sale it looks like there are two bang on edge trims plastic strips like around the lower section of the door opening to the rear trim card. thanks again duncan.

nick looked on my car and there are 2 edge trims like you thought , but instead of the cross section being flat like the one next to the quarter panel interior trim , they, should be a L section hope this helps richard
