Yep I am normal (I think) though the wife says otherwise. I mean, what's unusual about having a body frame in the lounge (It's raining outside and she's in Japan ) Not done much today, but did find time to make a period style, electrics panel for the dash. Once I know the bezel size of the warning lights, I will etch the background design and legends.

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers. The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.

Thanks. Still waiting for the three warning lamps, but it looks a little less plain now.

Argh, tis all true. But if I did a video, everyone would realise it's not difficult. Next time I will do in progress pics (and make it look really hard to do). Started riveting the two layers of dashboard. Copper rivets are cut down, large roofing clout nails, that have had the heads turned to size in the lathe. Slightly tedious job, but the heads were a bit big and far from circular.

Today went well. Finished the riveting, welded on the dash mounting tabs, modified some warning lamps and did the cut out for the ammeter/switch panel. Not fully decided on speedo or rev counter positions yet. Will have to remount the frame on the chassis to check steering column hole position.

Thanks. The engine turning on the dash took a while but I think it was worth it. Not quite as crisp as I would have liked though.
