 It's amazing what a change a little time, tap, paper, and a couple of spray bombs can do . :-\

I think that's the lighting causing that, Sun/  Led

What do you have in store for the next project? I may have asked this don't remember. That red jag went missing?

I'm still getting the shop straightened out while recovering from a severe lower lumbar disk injury. Bending and stretching is still not that easy, but after five months of recuperation it's getting better. I had to move some of my vehicles temporarily to a climate controlled storage space so that I can set up and work inside the garage on scaffolding. Not easy, but getting there.

Still need to find a local source for a lift. I decided on a four post, but since all the reasonably priced units come from China, I'm on a waiting list.

Nice looking rides!

Have hatted the steering wheel from day 1………. %$@#!

Gary Grant, the one needed has a rubbery foam grip, think ride around lawn mower  Just awful to drive, gets sticky and just plane terrible.

You will remember these, a 60’s vintage steering wheel cover, perfect.

All those smiley faces on the front grill should give the people you drive behind a grin in the rear view mirror!   :lol_hitting:

That should do the trick!

I have a factory sport wheel for my Cutlass that has the same icky sticky thing going on and was thinking about doing the same for it.  I'll be glad when that kind of thing is all I need to do to that car!

Definitely one of the coolest “old school” designs ever produced. It’s a beautiful wheel Pep.
