sexy dash right there…. 😎  I need some seals for the dash grab handle or I would bolt it in…. on the way from H.O.G.  along with the seals for the air diverters, which I need to put the glove box in…. 😎

 

Doug did the handle just like original… looks and feels awesome. 😎

The product of every old man that took the time to teach me something 😎😎😎. Thanks❤️

Mike is shipping our seals today priority mail… 😎  He said all but a couple will be in the first box!   Sweet.. I need a few seals.. 😎

I did get those aluminum strips that go over head in the jamb for the top if the window seal. all sanded, and polished and cleaned up!! ready for unstall.. But I am pretty sure, there is a seal that goes under it also…. 😎   So, on to the next item today…. Maybe I will get the wiper motor cleaned up and ready to install… but I need some wiper grommets… 😎  Probably the same as type 1… I might be able to find some… 😎

Are the vent trim pieces on the dash something that’s reproduced?

[John Jones]

Late 59 thing….  it would normally had the top of the dash covered also, and those trimmed it out…   Juan decided against covering it… I probably should have filled those holes for the trim….  but it slipped my mind…  I guess, I could go backwards and fill em…. and touch up some paint in them…. I thought I would paint them and install and see how they looked… I like em,

But honestly… I was hoping it would slip right by without question… 😎  Now the question is what Juan thinks??? 😎  😎
