Re: New project coming along
 

Here's another one of those after the weekend updates. Lots done, although it doesn't really show in pictures.

I got all the glass and glass moldings in. Still waiting for vent glass frame to come back from chrome. I got all the glass from Auto City Classics. It all fit perfect, and the date coding is real nice too.

I also added a few things to the engine comp. Wheel wells are ready for paint, then install.

Here's a shot of the glass

Pretty much finished up under the car. All the wiring is hooked up, and worked well when I put 12 volts to it all.

The parts pile is pretty small. Seat covers, grill, some odds and ends. The chrome for the bed corners is also at the chrome shop, so I can't stick the bed moldings on till there back.

Another ElCamino update: Well I'm down to a few odds and ends. All having to do with sloooooooow chrome shops. Bumpers, bed moldings, vent glass frames, all holding up the final steps. The radiator will be in Thursday. Should be able to light it up after that. Here's a few more shots, until it's completely finished.

Is the steering wheel an original piece or re-pop?

Dan.

Re: New project coming along
 

Thanks for all the feedback over the past year. It's been a fun, and fairly simple project. Not much more to get pictures of for a while, except one more piece of the puzzle that arrived today.

Yes Dan, repro dash and wheel. Both are nice pieces. The original wheel was junk, not restorable. Somewhere down the road I'll get an original, and restore it though,
