It's been two years since I started taking my 72 convertible apart.  I now have completly rebuilt the frame, engine, transmission and the body has been repainted and sitting on the frame.  It's now time to put it back together.  Just being lazy and thought I would ask if there are any tips in putting the interior back in the car.  I pulled everything out.  I bought new firewall insulation, rubberized sound deadner and foil backed heat resistant for the interior.  I bought all new wiring harnessess (ouch) and groumets.  Any comments on what to watch out far, or things to do or not do from your experience, will be appreciated.  Thanks, David

Hopefully, you bagged/tagged everything when you took it apart, so you'll know what screw/bolt/clip goes where...that's the biggest hurdle in any long term resto.
I would suggest the wiring go in first, of course, and then the HVAC/dash.
Install the heat barrier/carpeting from the rear compartment area first(it keeps from getting the front carpet messy).
Measure twice, cut once!
Good to hear the project is finally starting to come together. Should be ready for summertime next year, eh?

And understand that there will be several times when you take something back apart because you needed to put something else in first.  That is how you get to know your car.

Thanks for all the comments.  Is this the order:

I would put the seats in last, that way they are not in the way while doing all the rest. Did mine that way. Need to do the rear compartments at same time as rear carpet. DaveM2009-12-08 21:15:58

All good advice above. In addition, clean the threads good on the seat bolts and seatbelt bolts and use some anti-seize compound on them.
