Redoing the dash, gluing in the carpet, and installing the engine

Just some progress photos. I have done some of the interior, all the carpet and leather pieces that are glued in place. I did the dash and then I got a sample from Henk and decided to re do it. So I took it out and am starting over. I made some new heat shields and got the motor ready for installation taking off all the items that must come off to fit it back in. There is always drama putting the engine back in and am always so nervous with it hovering in a precarious position over painted surfaces. As it was dangling above I realized I had forgot to remove the dipstick. So out it came along with a quart of oil before I could get it plugged. The engine slid in but I scratched a valve cover. So the valve cover is off while I take care of that. It went in with the alternator on but would of been way easier with it off as after all was in, I had to remove it anyways to put the front header on. You would think on #2 I would know these things. It was a relief getting the engine in and now I can move forward.
