I've been plodding away for the last few weeks, but making progress. Door guts are completely assembled and working, including the emergency cables needed to open the doors in the event of a power outage. The seats are back from the upholsterer. AWESOME job. I dropped off the door panels, console and a few other nic-nacs when I picked them up. I had to move the console and seat over to center the seat exactly on the steering wheel. That turned out to be non-trivial.

I re-fitted the windlace to the headliner. The upholsterer will get that too, to cut off and sew the ends of the windlace now that it's length is known.

The major front end sheet metal is installed, and I have a better idea of the front end wiring.

I've been scuffing and buffing the bed parts the last several days. Bed sides and tubs are ready for install. Plenty more to do.
