I've had it now for a couple weeks. Lots of work to do.

Here she is the day I brought her home:

Thanks!

There's a few things that I want to do to it soon.

I've already installed a carpet kit. Next is a new headliner, but it looks very intimidating.

Looking at the different videos on Youtube and other sites, I haven't found a 67 specific install.
The head liner doesn't tuck under the window gasket of the windshield. I'm not sure how it's mounted up there. Around the door and back windows I think I've got, but that section over the windshield has me stumped.

Also, I don't have a door pulls to shut the door. So I've been opening the wing window and pulling on the door. I don't like the door handles that are available from WW or Empi. Mainly because they come into the cabin too much and poke me in the ribs or are in the way of my arm.

I've seen a few people use straps instead. But most of those don't look very clean. Then I saw a picture of a 911 RS America and I really like the look of the door strap there.

Thoughts?
