I started in July this year & said it would be done by end of September! I'm promissing it for after winter now as there is no point putting it on road in the bad weather.

Looking good. Is the dash an early 1850 dash?

Doing great, lots of hard work there!
Always liked the dials on the early 1850's also.

Have you got the front jacked up on chassis legs? Is that recommended?

that is unbelievable....what a fantastic job.....
so many questions...
how did you get the vinyl dash looking so neat ? Refurbish the walnut veneer ?
that is absolutely incredible....I'm wondering how I will ever come close.....
well done and thanks for putting the pics up....great job
