Looks great....can we blame the pandemic for the trim pricing? New company just bought my finish supplier. Cat lacquers just shot up 25%.

I think so,
I had to wait on the T-top seals for a bit even last year and some items I look for are still back ordered

Going with black carpet and since the dash, knobs, window cranks, etc all have black, decided to paint the interior door panels two tone.
Used the Dark Blue exterior paint for the center and some old Pro Spray Ford Ebony Black that I had left over.

The old arm rests didn't match. One was green and the other blue so I painted them black as well. These don't have any clear on them, I use an activator in the base coat so interior parts don't have to be cleared and remain flexible.

I painted the Sun Visor brackets, door hinges, glove box door, bolts, screws, ashtray etc.
Will post pictures as I get them installed.

Is that a Bulk roll of floor insulation?
I have been looking for bulk rolls of that That and some Old school Heavy Tar paper like the factorys used.

Another set back.
Started installing trim on left fender and they didn't send the right clips! Tried passing off some plastic with double sided tape (black and red in picture) on it instead of the metal clips.
I couldn't even figure out how the plastic ones were supposed to fit on the molding if I were to use them.
Waiting on LMC to send me the correct clips.

Suppliers have really been taking some shortcuts on stuff like that. I ordered the exact same roll of weatherstripping as just a year ago. The last stuff had premium grade 3 M double sided tape. This time it had that cheap cellophane clear crap. Things are looking great by the way....

I was going to order a rear bumper and front grille from AMD but they said 45-60 day back order.

Got the glove box emblem installed:

Installed and began reassembling the door. Could only put the top trim in because of the clip issues. Waiting for the new window channels and weatherstripping.

Carpet arrived today as well so more to be done shortly.

Carpet installed today.
Installed sill plates and then located the seat mounting holes and enlarged and sealed them using a soldering iron.
