Default Progress on interior conversion, almost complete

It’s been about 10 months and it’s almost ready to hit the street. Engine work, brakes, exhaust, and interior change.
I need a bulb for glove box light, can someone tell me what size fits?

That is one whale of a difference. Good job on the redo. I am still working on mine. Hopefully within the next few days mine will all be together. Sorry, I can't help you on the bulb size though.

Look real good. I'm jealous.

I have the parts in the garage to completely refinish my interior, why can't I find the time to get it done??
