DASH BOARD

A dash came with the parts but was unfinished and needed to be fitted to the scuttle. That was the job last week. The wood is African Padauk and is a lovely piece of wood. The instrument panel is a reproduction and I sprayed it with wrinkle paint. The paint needed to be cured so I made used a wood box and placed the panel inside and aimed a Harbor Freight heat gun into the open end for 45 minutes to cure it; worked great. It took some filing to fit all the instruments but now is finished. I still have to form up the glovebox.
