Nice work!

windshield post... post

got cutting on the post today The dots where the intended cuts

Slightly modified

In a earlier post I showed the piece of 18 gauge rosette welded in. This helped with the alignment and some strength.

The turnbuckle helped pull it all together

windshield post ...Post ...Continued

Took some 18 gauge to add some strength. tacked it to a piece of tig wire to get it in place.

Top view of alignment.

the 'inspector" says it looks OK.

just a little side note when you get into an area that is a leaded joint make sure you get all the lead out of where you intend to weld as it will cause great problems in getting a good weld. The lead was located at the top of the cuts.

A SPECIAL thanks to Dan (the truant) for the help with the windshield post!

Dash installation

The Chevy dash got the nod. Dan, the truant stopped by and helped out with the installation.`Great job Dan.

The next trick up the the sleeve is to figure out how to incorporate cowl steering (would like to use a reversed covair box) and a hanging brake pedal.
going to be running an automatic in this truck so only need to get one pedal up in the same area. Does anyone have any pix of that combo? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance, Clipper.
