I believe that there is a set on there now. Also have seen several sets of the inner grilles, some NOS.

I'm currenty in the process or upholstering the trunk. I covered the two panels with a sheet of carpet. I think i will try to carpet the sides as well.
Two weekends ago we got the cams timed and rebuilt the starter.
Hopefully just one more weekend of final assembly of the engine and transmission, and then I can begin putting them back in the car.

Little bit of a delay in the project...

But, we're back up and running now that the engine and transmission are completed. I picked them up this Saturday and brought 'em home. Should only take another 11 years to install (hopefully we can cut that down to only a few months). Think there's any chance of having it done by Monterey Historics weekend?

hmmmm, unlikely that I'll be making it to Monterey  . I have been installing things in preparation of the engine install and found yesterday that the slow leak from the steering box is due to a crack in the box. Bad news. It'll take a few months at least to take care of the steering box, swap to the 4.10 diff, install the engine and trans, and handle all the details of getting the engine running and tuned. That time frame is just to get up and running and doesn't include installing the header, modifying the exhaust system, modifying the euro air box to fit 45s, and finishing up the interior and stereo and who knows what else  . Sometimes, I wonder if I'll ever get to drive a nice 105. 
trying to stay motivated,
Bryan

Have a look at my restoration threads, if you need motivation. You are miles further down the track than I am .
Best
Pete

It's been more than a year since my car has had an engine and transmission in it. But today is a new day We installed both the engine and tranny this morning.
At the beginning of the day:
At the end of the day (actually, about 2:00pm):
There is still a lot to do, as mentioned before, but this is a very encouraging step. I spent a good long time just staring at it afterward. We were thankful to have barely scratched anything. We had to wrestle the tranny on, but I think it was still easier than assembling the engine and trans ahead of time and tilting the car to 45 degress to get the assembly in, but that debate is for another thread.
Hopefully things will pick up a little steam now.

Bryan,
I don't think anything would blame you for staring at that engine. It is absolutely gorgeous. We are all anticipating the finished product. This is absolutely a brilliant project, keep up the excellent work. Thanks for sharing with us.

Nice headers! Look a hell of a lot better than mine, which is just chrome plated rust.

Bryan,
I'd put those front jack stands in a safer spot if I were you. The jackpoints or frame rails are better.
