A Few New Pictures

I've gotten a ton of work done in the past month or 2 that I have not really talked much about. So for this post I thought I would just put in a few pictures to show all the work.

Here you can see the running boards. They went on last night. I bought these 20 years ago for my blue 56 so they needed a bit of polishing but they turned out quite well.

Here you can see the 1956 license plate. This plate and tab are both from Benton county which is where I believe the car was originally sold. Some day I may do a title search, but it did have an Overturf Volkswagen sticker in the door jam when I bought it. They don't keep records back that far though, so they were not able to confirm they sold the car.

Here you can see the seats from the 1995 Acura Integra. You can just make out the seat belt on the driver side as well. The covers on these are in great condition for their age. The car these were taken from was in a wreck and the driver side needed some work on the seat back because of it. I have the back seat from the same car and I'll work on fitting it this summer so the whole family can go for a ride.

The dash and steering wheel are nearly complete. The glove box door needs some adjustment so the paint doesn't get chipped when it's closed. I have the latch but I want to color sand the door front before installing it as well. I also picked up a new pedal cluster that I will clean and install with a new aluminum roller pedal. I have not figured out what brake and clutch pedal pads will go on it though.

Finally you can see the reproduction swan neck mirrors. I plan on making a stainless piece to fill the hole where the trim is supposed to slide under the mirror mount. I have not figured out exactly what I want that piece to look like yet, but Hook had the idea of putting an LED in it as a turn signal side marker. Not a bad idea and I just may have to do it.
