1930 Dodge truck, not a Fargo

Really like the unique radiator shell ornament. I also have my eyes out for something that is different.

I see you are putting the wood on the inside of the framework. Besides looking neat it will also save space. When considering what in the world I wanted to have for an interior, I thought the stained bead look plywood would not only fit the look I'm going for, but also it's only about 3/16-1/4" thick which lets me get full cover- and maybe a bit quieter? The plan is to attach the panel to the framing with drive rivets (or what some call screw rivets).

I like the ornament too

I built the trans tunnel really close to the trans. Now finding hard to make the shifter. There's about 2 hours in this unfinished lever. The shift handle is shown and was from a Model A.

After fiddling around for the better part of a week all the linkage is fabbed. The side panel will be removable. Now finishing the sheet metal around the shift lever.

Death by a thousand cuts. That's what the project feels like. Dozens of small jobs, none very picture worthy. I'm doing everything I can before it gets blown apart for final welding on the chassis. That will happen in the fall. I want to keep it together so it is easier to store until then. Lately I've ; cut holes in the dash for gauges, finished the trans cover, adapted a shift knob, finished the steering column, added turn signal lights fore and aft, salvaged and modified a vintage turn signal switch, mounted a dimmer switch, rear view mirror, neutral safety switch and so on.
