{FORGED?} Progress You Can Finally See

[AMC74Hornet@xxxxxxxxx]

Although not with out a hitch or a glitch a tweak or a little triming and grinding here and there just enough to drive me mad the dash is finally going together. It is a miss mosh of parts from all over. The main dash frame is from California, the crash pad is from Texas as is the dash center section. The upper A/C vent assembly is from Oregon. The glove box surround is from my yellow Hornet. I had a better one so I used that one when I did the yellow cars interior a few years ago and saved the orignal. I repaired it and installed that one in this car. The orange cars original one was trash. The glove box door is from the original car re-painted black. The window pillar plastic moldings are from a Gremlin a local AMC frind parted out as are the kick panels. The package tray is original from the car with a factory gauge pod a friend gave my son who gave it to me. I added Auto Meter gauges to it. The plastic inst. panel came from a Ct. and will have the original gauges from th!
 e car along with an Auto Meter tac. The dash is now 75% together. The real challenge since the day I bought this car 2 years ago was finding all the plastic interior parts that were not repairable. And now it all is finally coming together at last. Now if I could only get the !@#$!@# upholstery shop to do the 2 !@#$%^ bucket seats I would have one beautiful interior. Over the winter I plan on stripping the paint off of the 77 Hornet AMX flairs and front spoiler (yes I have 2 complete sets) and rear window louver and painting them to match the car. I plan on a little body work and a nice clean paint job in the spring. Original orange with only the factory AMC double pin stripe.
