Finished the dash today. Just a cover. But it is done ! Came out ok.
Don't know about the wheel ? Alittle dated ! Big wood one would be fun ?

Will start the glass refinishing and then some Very Yellow paint.
:cheers:

While big skinny wood ones look good in a car show they really suck in real life. You want a thicker, smaller diameter one for the real world. Too much sawing around with a big one and heaven forbid you do an autocross with that wheel.

We picked up over 4 seconds on a 42 second course just by switching from the big wooden wheel to a smaller more modern wheel.

Had the 7 out to a block parts. Good times. But it is time to pull it all apart and paint the chassis. :ack: :BH:
