SHOP UPDATE: Gettin ready for the Butte car show Saturday

 Sue and I had to dis-assemble the passenger side of the truck to fix the gas gauge that quit working.

 I finally attacked the electric wiper conversion. Was a real pain but is working great. I have a Model A Ford with dual electric wipers. Gotta love it.

 We worked on finishing the rest of the interior panels. Here are the new kick panels.

 We installed the rest of the wind lace door seals and the interior panels around the doors

 Installed the new rear view mirror

 Finished upholstery except for the carpet which we will have the professionals do.

Last piece is the glove box lid. hope to get it painted by Wednesday night so I can sand and buff by Friday.

SHOP UPDATE: We finished off today with some progress on Jim's 36 Ford chassis

 Here we are locating the lower four link bars and brackets on Jim's 36 chassis

 Brackets and bars are tacked in 

 We made some tabs and located the upper four link bars

Here we installed the bed and a rear fender to check the clearance and alignment when it is aired down. Everything has turned out really nice. Just like we hoped for.
