    Thx for the heads up psytrance boi.

    Little mini update for friday..

    Dash polished and installed..have you ever tried to hand polish black lacquer on a dash full of holes? it is A *****.

    couldnt help sliding the Gauges in..still not sure what colour to do the wheel, i quite like the Mid grey on it now..I might leave it unrestored till the car is fininshed and get a whole bunch of opinions.

    few more switches and things to go in yet.

    All the gauges have stories attached to them, and while they dont match eachother, they are a lot of the character of the car, and i love em. so there.

    What's happening with Willo's coupe?



    Gauges look good. Is the clock set to daylight savings?

    You are building a beautiful car...and I really like the idea of keeping the steering wheel the way it is.

    Shouldnt take 10 years with our summers. That paint can be pretty weak to the sun so watch out for that one, also something like the meguiars scratch-x polish would be great for this.

    Looks good though, will head down one saturday and check it out, get one of Tarantos special hot chocolates.

    Yours makes me think of one of my all time favorites - the Vic Edelbrock 32 Roadster....

    You have a fine Build going on there...... Your workmanship & eye for detail are superb!!
