SHOP UPDATE: Been working on my Model A

So, The 42 is off to glass shop getting the windshield put in it. I have this open space in the shop and thought I better pull in the A and tie up a few loose ends. I am still on light duty you know



 I finally got around to painting the garnish molding and glove box hinge for My 29


 Here is the final product. I really love this green color.
I installed the glove box lid hinge.  After a bunch of trimming I was able to install the glove box. Now I need to find a better glove box lid or get to work saving the one I have.

 I made a couple of brackets and installed rollover valves on both fuel tank vent tubes. This fix stopped the fuel from leaking out the vent tubes when I launch from  slow speeds.
 Just Another shot of the chassis. Boy, everything is really tight.
 Here are my garnish moldings installed. It definitely looks more finished now.

 I repaired the broken tailgate closer on the passenger side. Now it just needs to rust up a little so it looks like it belongs
 I went for a ride today. The temps here in Montana are getting real nice. The heat coming up through the holes in floor was pretty severe. Thought it was time to install the boots on the shifter and E-brake. I will drive it tomorrow and see if it makes a difference.
 So I got a wild hair and decided to start covering the visor with matching material from the top.

 Lots of spray adhesive and stretching


 Here it is all finished. It turned out OK. Not perfect but the best I could do without overdoing it.

Here it is installed. It has a few wrinkles but I think a little heat from the sun and it should smooth right out. I like it, It does change the look of the truck.
