Made good headway on the wiring and vacuum lines under the hood as well.

Almost ready to install the top and once that's done the headliner and the rest of the interior will go in.

Working on getting the interior and dash put back together. While taking the headliner out of the 75 I found another build sheet above it lol.

FYI--I had a subwoofer in my trunk. These cars tend to rattle around the gas fill door. You might put some of that dynamat behind the gas fill door if you can reach it back there.
