Got the mirrors and the quarter glass frames painted last week.






Mounted the Juliano's billet steering wheel. When they made it for me I had them Hydrodip it in the wood grain. Been sitting in a box for 5 years waiting, finally got to mount it to the column!!





Installed the polished stainless Borgeson universals and shaft.



Because the stripes will be going onto the dash I had to reinstall it today to make sure when I hit the booth next week everything lines up......









Also mounted the heater hoses that pass through the cowl. On the other side they will run in the wheel well and go into another bulkhead. Then from that bulkhead another short whip will connect them to the engine.




Today started the wet sanding to get it all smoothed out and flat to go back in the booth for stripes and flow coat of clear......



The flushed side lights are installed. The lens will be masked for color, then unmasked and cleared right over to burry them in the clear.

Coming along nicely. I'm glad you've decided to do some changes to the front colors. I think it will look better the way your planning to do it. Good luck!
