I don't know why the past owners put all the hole's in the dash? I put misc. lamp's and period matching knob's in them though 2 of them became actual turn signal indicator's for left and right not just a lit dash cluster lamp.

Bed wood. A basic farm pack of mis match . Stained today and came put fairly well. This past summer i let the wood gray out a bit to look aged.

The start of the exhaust from the header's out to the rear.Gonna have to be creative to keep tight high up and routed clear of everything.Left a clear route for it during the build.I think?

Set up a battery holddown for the start battery. Swapped out the auxillary optima redtop battery for new one as it was not holding a load anymore.It was a core battery I kept alive over a year and a half.

The previous owner (po) had put the blower fan switch in the glove box. Using a spare knob I moved the switch to the dash .Adapted it to one of the factory hole plugs.The original factory AIR lever is now the cable to open the water control valve.

Dropped 1960 gmc front shot. "Just cool I think". Maybe in the eye's of restoration or antiquier people they may feel this ruined. This is preservation.
