Default Finished first phase

With my son’s help, I finally 98% finished on the 2nd phase of restoring my 74. Phase 1 was new radiator core support, new aluminum 4 core radiator, electric fans, replaced standard ignition with HEI, replaced vacuum operated headlights with electric ones.

Phase 2 was interior strip and replace of all broken pieces. New tach, new radio and speakers, some switches for fan, added usb 3 and usb c ports, new dash. Replaced all lights with LED bulbs. Not to mention all the wires that needed to be fixed/replaced.

next will be undercarriage work. Bushings, shocks and brakes.

That is so cool having your son assisting you. My sons couldn't care less about the 3 Vettes I had let alone helping me in any way. You are one lucky man!!!!!

I am a lucky woman. I am somewhat mechanical, but my son is way better with cars than I am.
