Here's the overall look. I like it.

I will finish the top edge. My first idea is a plastic U-channel, on order.

That does look good Bob.
Likely should have done something this on my build.
Were my aftermarket GTS Classic seats fit into the cutouts in the factory firewall upholstery piece, they rub and squeak like crazy.
This setup would have nixed that.

Nice!

Yeah and those new targa latch hooks look immensely better.
Sometimes parts on these old cars are irretrievably worn out.

Thanks, Doug. I think the perlon cover makes the interior look a bit bigger and more modern--and less of a sea of black vinyl.

With the perlon cover in place, I got out the engine lid cable.

Connected to the latch, with a home-made substitute to cover the open tube.

Before installing carpet, I wanted to finish everything else inside, including the control cables. So I got out the bag of hardware. The wobbly connecting rod is the one I took off the car, the other is a replacement.

And then I made space so I could route it the "official" way: in the tunnel aft of the cross member, and then up along side the wiring harness.
