Made up all the interior panels to be upholstered from 1/8" ABS, more expensive than thin wood panels but doesn't crack or shatter when installing clips, etc., won't absorb water or rot. Bunch of smaller pieces go above the doors and front window, door tops.

Looking good! I don't recall if you told us, does the battery box vent into the fenderwell?

Yes it does - is that OK? It's got a louvered cover on the wheelwell side, should keep debris from going in, there's an intake port on the bottom of the box also. I've found from previous safety inspections that it's required, just a good idea anyways I figure...

Wow that's a tall grill! As always super awesome work ZZ..... Also nice to put a face to the name!

I've never installed one but I don't see why it wouldn't be fine.

The grille finally made its way home from Mexico - since I flew home from Yuma, my fiance' brought it back with her to Washington, then I drove to see her and smugg - I mean - imported it to Canada.
Got it mounted in the grille shell and got it out in the sun.

Looks like a nice job.
I've got a 36 Chevy Master grille straightened and all the other pieces re-chromed. Thinking about Paul's Chrome

Mounted the trunk lid, that's a big 'ol butt.

Not butt ugly, butt beautiful.

That trunk came out pretty darn nice, ZZ.
