Re: 1941 project fenix

yeah I think I will pull the caps off, might suit the truck better

so in perfect form the truck decided to be a problem. again. The screws that held the cowl vent linkage to the dash were rusty and I wasnt very patient taking it apart, so I just buzzed the heads off. but to put it back together I needed the rest of the screws out. I cut them flush and used vice grips, penetrant, and some heat and got them almost all the way out. and the spotweld holding the linkage to the cowl broke. *sigh*

I thought maybe the Vintage Air controls would fit the two center dash holes and sure enough they did. I peeled the lables off the control panel and stuck em on

I think you guys are right about these hubcaps. I think on really narrow wheels that stick out in the center a bit they would be perfect, but not these wider wheels, they look like passenger car wheels.

I dont even much like these either. I think the bare center with rings is in the future
