    Cjay…. Did you want to solve that puzzle back THEN AND NOW, or just wait to solve it?

    I love a clean instrument cluster. Clock works, too!

    Adam- is that Mark's woodgrain? Could you please take a close up of the side of the heater control face to the dash surround? TY. Is that also a repro dash surround?

    Adam... I am almost 100% sure the owner has a 16" brown thumb groove steering wheel in one of the boxes he got from me back 4 or so years ago... Along with a few other 16" thumb grooves.. And a restored star wars air cleaner.. LOL

    It is a repro cluster with Marks woodgrain. And yes I painted the inner frame black. Lol

    Brian Trick sold me the brown thumb groove wheel from the car he parted a couple months ago.

    Well... If he has you do another one needing a brown thumb groove, it's out there... somewhere... in a box...

    Since the fenders and hood have been sharing a spot in the shop with the green 69 car while it was cut and polished, I took care of them at the same time. Of course I couldn’t resist installing the fender emblems.

    Planning on painting core support and inner fenders tomorrow with the ones from the green 69.

    We have front and rear glass! I’m dreading cut and buff, but it’s the only thing holding me back from slapping a bunch of parts into this thing. I guess I better get my butt in gear.
