CORPO
Buildin' it his way, one piece at a time...
More detail work...
My dad and I for some reason could not get the dashboard in the same way we had when we were building the truck. We ended up making a mess out of the hole around the windshield regulator when installing it, so it needed to be trimmed.
More copper and brass accents!
Few more details here, modified a brass fitting to trim the light switch.. Still not certain the nob is staying...
I also had found a large industrial push button which I disassembled to use the outer housing... My dad ground the threads out and we slipped it over the raw cast piece from the spare ignition from his 57...
Turned out nice
Also, my dad was cleaning out our fire pit, in my younger days we would burn anything we could... At some point I must have burned an old door cause he dug out this brass ring that looks like it is part of a door nob.. Still need to decide on the screws, either paint them all to match or find some others... More brass ones like the ones on the dash would look nice..
The turn signals are done, including indicator lights... My dad has been working very hard on getting the gas tank looking great, first coat of paint is on... Soon it will be ready to test the fuel system... But winter is getting close so it might not happen till the spring...
