Getting refreshed and recharged always results in renewed positive efforts. Highly anticipating your progress.

We have PROGRESS!!!! Last night I was able to get enough bench time in to prime and paint the steering column and this morning I got up and installed the ignition switch and keys. I also installed the turn signal lever on the L/H side of the column.  |

Looks fantastic! Don't forget to put the shifter into reverse so you can get the keys back out again😉

Thanks for the comments fellas. I've been working on the steering wheel itself for the past couple of days which is a challenge all to itself. lol

Excellent details, I love it. The keys are a sweet touch I've never seen before.

Got the dash pretty much finished up today folks. I'm gonna have to order a set of floor mats to top everything off for the interior but aside from that......we'll be moving on to the chassis as far as build up and proper set up goes now.....  |

WOW! It looks a lot nicer and cleaner than my own dashboard right now. Hey, you left your keys in there!

You’re gonna have to open up the T-roof to show off that interior.

LOL!! I'll see about the T-Tops. Not sure about that one just yet. Thanks for all the great comments so far guys. Almost forgot one of the most important things in this interior and something that I was preparing for when I first started this part of the build........the foot pedals. I fabbed up a swing pedal base and drilled three holes through the base to insert the three needles necessary for the pedal levers. Then I painted the levers a semi gloss black and installed the painted and detailed foot pedals to the levers. The results turned out A LOT better than the pedals that were molded into the floor to start with.  |

Thanks a lot guys. I was in Ollie’s today and picked another one of these kits up so I could build the whole thing up to address/ identify any problems in construction ahead of time. Kit cost? $14
