Many thanks to all of you fine folks here in the Healey forum of the BCF. We retooled the interior of Willie, our 65 BJ8 this spring and we think it has turned out beautifully. Thanks for the specific questions answered and thanks also for the archives of other questions which are an invaluable resource. The new interior matches the original black vinyl, we installed dynamat under everything and insulation in lieu of the underlayment. The car sounds tight and quiet, whith a nice thud when you close the doors. We also installed the same Creative speaker setup displayed by a couple of others here on the forum and I have an MP3 dock (the headphone cord) tucked in the ash tray. Just plug it in and drive. It sounds great! The dash got refinished thanks to the tips from the British Columbia Healey site and a couple of questions answered here. I've posted a picture of the interior in the members pics section as well as one of our third brake light, which I thought might be interesting. We mounted it on the luggage rack and ran the wiring through the rack. Willie is riding in style.

Thanks again and Happy Healeying!
