I've went to SAR today to work out a few more details -- there's always lots of details even on a simple little POS like this!

They're going to cut down the column drop and 1/4 over the edges to make it a bit "neater" - it's too large as is. Easier to whack this one than set up a new one - thus the green tape and cut lines.

The new dash installed for me to "okay":

I asked them to hide the headlight switch and the heater controls under the dash - to keep this nice a simple. Also going to use a beige faced gauge with red pointer ala the Classic Vintage set like shown here:

The firewall is repaired and painted as is the the rear valance where the old exhaust had cutouts sculpted in the body.

Don't you think you should change the windshield and frame.
Your going for more of a Vintage Dry lake look and the winshield frame screams modern billet, I think it will look out of place to much.

Nah -- I'm going for the bastard child look.

I didn't buy it because I got a "deal".... and I'm having fun making it just exactly the way I want it. I'm just real lucky that I don't have to make it "financially work out".

EEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I know - just poking fun!
Are the wheels on order? I can't wait to see them!
