Default 75 Interior work

Hello all!

I just started working on the interior of my '75. So far I have removed about 90% of the interior (minus the steering collumn and speedo/tach dash section. I have been patching some of the electrical since someone had put an aftermarket stereo in and spliced about a half-dozen wires...

I have a few questions:

1. Where is a good place to get a factory looking radio?
- Iconicautomotive is going out of business...

2. I need to redo the floorboard texture stuff because I ended up scraping it off since it was all gummy and nasty. Any idea what I can use or where I can get it?

3. Last for this post. Wiring diagrams for the interior and eventually engine bay?


thanks in advance.

Troy

I used 3M undercoating paint for the floorboards. Worked good.

Remember: stock radios are two part and require the convector assembly in order to work. Your original convector might still be in the car.

A factory radio or a factory look alike? If you just want a factory look alike try Ecklers. they carry several different models.
