Ni i i i i i i ice! Great work mate.

Prehaps the stash was getting a bit high & making the bed lumpy??

Cheers, Matt.

Wow! Great milestone Greg. Looks great.
What power plant is patches being installed with?
LB

patches has a g161 in it not the original one but a gt engine. patches birth engine now lives in tassie.

A new dash pad is fitted and the airbrushed woodgrain dash is ready for pick up tomorrow. I finished the steering wheel today.

I had the dash panels out of the convertable that were in the weather for over 20 years and gave them to a guy that airbrushes to see what he could do with them. The reason he got the stuffed one is that if it was a failure it did not matter.
The end result i am happy with the next set will be darker as this was a practise run. We all know what happend to the experimental horn button .

oh they look real nice, very sexy indeed!

KEEP THAT DASH AWAY FROM THAT HOT PLATE ...REMEMBER THE HORN BUTTON WENT IN ITS BEST FRIEND ................AN OVEN ...HEY THEY LOOK BLOODY GREAT CHEERS DAVO

Very nice indeed. I have a cousin who is a bit of an airbrush artist.... must talk to him !

hey greg looks great...dash is unbelievable ....the wheel what did you stain/varnish it with ? and how many coats with rub backs in between im getting up to that stage cheers davo

Davo lots of sanding 400 wet n dry/ dry we want the wood dry. glue any loose ends 400 w.n.d. i put a stain on mine but you need to get back to bare timber. The second wheel i did was 2 coats of clear before 1500 w.n.d wet. The 1st wheel i had a couple of rub throughs and had to re stain these bits it. After then each coat 24 hrs apart i did seven coats the last coat idid 1/4 of the wheel dipped the brush in turps ans redid the 1/4 gave a smoother finish.

thanks greg will get onto it asap cheers davo
