Being from Hawaii I know all about working in slippers. Too many ouchies though, so now I wear shoes.
Nice project.

After another hibernation due to some other things that I have to do. I just finished the central console to complement the overhead console.

deocon,
Awesome fab work- the cars turned out beautifully. I had no idea there was such love for musclecars in the PI. BTW, are you flip?

Hi Geno,

The musclecar fever is running hot here in the Philippines.

Remember that there were US Military Bases here, the Clark Air Base and the Subic Naval Base, where muscle cars abound!!!

During the 1980 fuel crisis, much of the musclecars were consigned to the junkyards and some were had their engine replaced with Japanese diesel engines(yaikss). During the 1990 Pinatubo volcano explosion, some were buried in lahar.

The resurgence of interest came in 2000, where we scourged the abandoned rice warehouses for good examples.

Yes, I am a Filipino(flip???). And I may soon "flip" if that is what you want to know, hehehehe.
