Was able to get the bits on the back.

Thanks to Ozgur Tan for helping with interior parts.
It was great to work along side and enjoy a shop day.
Many thanks Ozgur.

Very special to have had him here.

Carpet in….
Trimmed and fast vacuum
Next think the doors, add the corinthian leather then doors pockets.
The door pockets would not be correct for competition Cobra however I like the idea of having somewhere to put a hat and gloves.

Hi Jeff, glad to see you got the correct bolt head from the championship 1965 season ? The build is looking great well done!

Jeff - I expect you will enjoy the door pockets as you are probably accustomed to them from your other cars. I cannot remember, but I am guessing your AK has door pockets.

Anything that I forget to stuff behind the passage seat of my S/C has a tendency to fly away

Yup, always great to have pockets especially wo glove box.
Goldie has glove box and pockets
AK has both too

Anything not stuffed behind seat really does have a way of taking off.
For those with a sharp eye, seats aren’t set into seat bolt holes yet so they are about inch high.

Well, adjusting the doors were a little bit of a challenge. Lots of tweak here Tweak there take it back off. Tweak here. Tweak there but eventually everything worked, and even though things are hairline close everything opens and closes without issues.
Just need Santa to drop off some door stop straps.
