7628 Complete.....but never finished!

[Dave O]

It's been a most enjoyable 1 1/2 year build. My first kit build has been a great learning experience, made possible by the great support of FFR, the assistance of the many vendors utilized, the unselfish help many of you forum members, and, most importantly, the patience, support, and help of my Wife and Son.

Dave, your car looks great! Nice work.

What did you use for roll bar bezels?

[bil1024]

Nice! I like the throttle linkage setup. Where did you get that ?

[Buzz Skyline]

Looks beautiful! Can we get more cabin interior shots?

Very very nice indeed.

Thanks for the comments guys. I am attaching some pictures of the interior as requested.

The roll bar bezels came from Mike's Replica Parts (Mike Everson). He also provided a steering wheel trim plate, under dash filler panel, weather stripping, and trunk hinge struts. Great customer service and I should have included him in the mods list. I did make some different rubber grommets to get a better fit on the SS roll bars.

The mechanical throttle linkage a bits and pieces bought mainly from McMaster Carr. The "design" is my version of those used by several other forum members. Search for "mechanical throttle linkage" on this and the other forum for the different approaches.
