thanks!the steering box is out of a 69 dodge dart.
i took last week off and finally got all the body work and wet sanding done.its getting painted SEM hot rod black this Saturday.my buddy had a lizard skin gun and some ceramic lizard skin i sprayed the bottom of the cab with it and bought and sprayed the sound deadner inside the cab and box.weird MESSY stuff.you gotta mask everything.i knocked down the rough spots on the bottom of the cab with a da and sealed and painted it.turned out pretty good.

today i got to looking at my headlight and starter/ignition switch i got from speedway and they just use ugly nuts to hold them on and the knobs didnt match.after a couple hours on the lathe i made some bullet knobs to go with everything else and some nice ring nuts.i dont know how i went all those years without a lathe,best tool i ever bought.
