Some bits put on the rear of the carDoor handles and locks were easyThe pride of the Sport Fury, the medallions on the carSpray painted the underside black again as this was painted red in the previous restoration, also headlight are mounted backTest fit for the trim around the rear window, fits perfect! Without glueThe rear of the car is coming togetherTrunk rubber installedAntenna's installedSmall gap between the car and the trunk lid, probably the trunk lidTaillights and license plate on the carInstalled a rear speaker so got rid of all the wires that were hanging under the dash from the 2 rear speakers that were mounted by a previous owner
The front is starting to look like it. No better pictures for now we wanted to drive the car to a nearby location and the minute we opened the door it started to rain after about 7 days without a drop of rain
The exterior will be ready next weekend and on May 5th the car will go back to the shop for final inspection and finishing. There are a few minor blemishes that they will take care of.

Hey John, don't forget to include Ron and Marjo's names when you refer to the car in the photos ...Matthew has his own project Plymouth, sitting in mothballs at the moment.
How come my bumpers are both one piece while Mathew's are three piece? Getting my bumper to the plater was like moving King Kong from the Congo to Manhatten.

Steve,
Ron' and Marjo's car that Matthew is reporting on has the Optional bolt-on bumper wings as shown earlier in this post.
Thanks Curt, Sorry I got the car ownership confused. That was before my first cup of coffee. So after much perusal I figure Plymouth offerred optional wings for the front only?? Is that right? Boy that would have made shipment by UPS much easier and cheaper!
