It's been fun and it keeps me out of trouble for the most part.  |

Well it's legal. Also put some shipping dock bumpers and a trailer hitch on it.
A while ago I picked up these headlight trim pieces but they don't look right.
Going to leave them off. I think they were made for the 1940's Willys cars.
I think they look g@y on a truck.
(not that there is anything wrong with that.)

Well I got the dash gauges completed and hooked up.
All seem to work OK, and yes my battery is low....
Its the AutoMeter Antique Beige Analog Gauge Kit
For the wood I got some chechen (Caribbean rosewood) from Stewmac, a guitar builders supply store.
Sanded up nice and used some boiled linseed oil for the finish.
Last pic is the array of shifters, now if I could only remember what they are for...
Happy New Year All!
