'70 Mav project update

Just wanted to show some updates on my Mav. Have the interior close to completion. Put the headliner in, but I didn't have a steamer, so its a bit wrinkled right now. New carpet is in. Just need a radio, speakers, console, and temp, etc gauges and I'm good to go. I finished the headlights a while ago too. One pic is of one black headlight and one regular, the other is both of course to show the difference. Will post some engine pics soon to show the difference as well. This car is being built as a semi-mod/custom. most mods will be to the outside.

 

And some more...

 

Nice progress! its looking good

whats that in the rear windshield? a third brake light or a defroster?

 

Lol wish it were a defroster! But... It's a third break light

 

Hey not bad! So when will you take that hair dryer to the headliner there?

 

Lol almost broke that hairdryer out today, but decided not to. I was talking to a friend at work today and she has a hand-held steamer and she is going to let me borrow it:bananaman! So I'm going to go after it this weekend with the steamer to get those wrinkles out!

 

Alright, here are some updated engine pics

 

looks like your making some good progress...

 

Have new front rims and tires on now. Ordered some rear spacers and shocks. Will post pics as I install them and install the rear rims and tires. 15x7 on the front and 15x8 on the rear.

 

spacers just came in! ordered them from ezaccessory.com. better quality than i expected. heavy duty. also, i ordered them yesterday around 3pm, shipped regular mail, and they came in today! not bad turn around time.

 

Looks like you may have to pull the headliner a little tighter from the sides, those are more like droops than wrinkles.

 

I agree, it does not look like it's pulled near tight enough.....

 

Looking good, I did my headliner today too... I have some rinkles in mine. I understand now why they wanted 200 bucks what a pain.... At least I can say I did it my self.....

Keep up the good work.....

 

yeah that headliner was a pain, but I am happy I did it myself this time. I did it over last summer. I left the windows up during the summer when it was parked which ended up tighting the liner quite a bit surprisingly. I guess I shouldn`t be surprised since it gets that oven effect going on during that time of year lol

 

Alright! Got the rear shocks, spacers/adapters, and rims on. My previous shocks were shot. The spacers kicked it out about 2 inches and the air shocks raised it about 2 inches. I think it looks good and mean. Finally ready for some cruizin.
