December 14

Today was one of those wonderfully mild December days which gave us the opportunity to work on the interior of the car. We have to create a storage/speaker area behind the seats and a new trunk cover.

We worked earlier this week on the rear interior panels. These are a mash up of the old Datsun interior panels combined with the Camaro ones. They'll require a lot of fiberglass work once it gets warmer than this weeks upcoming forecast.

The area behind the seats will hold speakers, an amp and provide ample space to put things behind the seats. We made templates out of foam core and had to do some minor adjustments.

We've used MDF for constructing both the shelf behind the seats and the door over the spare tire. These will eventually be carpeted.

Foam core templates. You can see the interior panels in this shot as well.

Look, it's all the cars in one photo! I never EVER would have thought I would be married to a gear head. EVER. Or that there would be this many cars in my driveway on a normal day.

 Template removed to make a pattern for cutting the MDF.

Screwing supports on the front panel to hold the top.

Cowboy was commenting during this that working with wood was so 

much easier than working with metal. He does like to build.

Rear shelf done and in place.

Trunk lid in place. No construction photos on this since I was 

holding the board while he was cutting.
