I put my new alloy valve cover and new Weber Chrome Filter Assembly about a week or so ago and it was not until this past Tuesday I took this pics. Still work to do but much nicer look than before.

I have some other pic's of my wife and I ready to roll on Fathers day but will have to wait until tomorrow post them b'cause I can only post 6 x day. It was a nice sunny day in Puerto Rico... 90+ degrees and humid

...

... so this was a god test for the insulation I used on the Interior and it was a big difference. I still need to install the underdash panels so once that is done I hope it will even be better.

I finally completed installing the carpet and door panels this past Saturday and took my 70 Blue B for a ride. This are the first pic's after the car was painted and all fixtures were installed back. Bumpers were rechromed, new halogen sealed beams, etc.

I still need to keep working in several details but the first ride was lot's of fun visiting my Father and Brother on Father's Day yesterday.

Added:

I don't know what happens, but after I posted these pic's if you double click to see them larger they show in a very large size and distorted. The only way of viewing them without the distortion is to save them to your hard drive in the enlarged mode and then viewing them from your computer hard drive.

My 15 yr. old Son Jaime Francisco - He says this B will be his... time will tell...

Passenger's side view.

A look fron the back... distinctive '70 split bumpers

...another view of the back.

recessed grill distinctive of 70-72. It's true the full chrome grilles are prettier but I want to stay true to original as much as possible.

interiors, seat's were done locally in leather like material, original AM/FM radio, Motolita Steering Wheel. Yes that ignition lock does not go there, I already have a new one that I need to install.

It's been some time since I last posted pic's and I am still working in the car after it came back from the paint shop.

Here are some pictures of the interior. I used a material that is also sold in the Moss & VB catalogues that I found locally at Pep Boys. I hope to install the carpet this weekend.
