Good thing for this COVID lockdown to give you some extra time to work on it then...mustang1989 wrote:

Right??!!!
Working on the rest of the interior now. I didn't like the OOB door panels ………………..at ALL. First off , the OOB armrest and inside door latch handle were barely visible. No "Maverick" trim bezel was present at the top of the trim panel either. Being a car than only sees the track....it's not SUPPOSED to have a window crank handle either....BUT...it was molded in and I decided to install a PE handle and knob from the spares bin. The armrest was made out of spare resin parts block retainers that I had, the door latch handles were made out of square bits of PE that I bent and glued into place and the trim bezel was from extra window crank knobs that I had in stock.
Interior in the foreground is OOB with the one I'm using in the back ground.....

Got the floor pans installed, fire extinguisher all but finished and should be starting the seat & seat belts this weekend. It'll probably take me all dang weekend to put that PE seat belt assembly together(that shifter assembly liked to have killed me) but I've at least got my Trans Am kit that I'm making steady progress on.

Re: Jo-Han Dyno Don Maverick-Updates-04/21
Now that is a bad ass Maverick! I’ve been wanting to find my first car my grandparents gave me to use for college. Long story short, frame rusted out after 3 weeks. Anyway, I’d love to myself another 1964 Dodge Dart to restore with a straight 6, push button automatic transmission. Oh yeah, this beater had been challenged by other teens/ younger adults who wants to race me. Each time, I surprised them everytime. I’m talking about Trans Ams, Camaros, Mustangs, and others.
Oh did I mention the Dart was straight up 4 door stock?
