Linc vid says private even after I sign in.. You may have to go back in and make it public.. however being the computer dope that I am I have no idea how you might do that..

...thanks Bash, I think I fixed it to 'Public'...try it again...

 

[Bash and scratch]

Thanks Linc yep it works now.

That is a nice option to have, my 36 Ford had that and it was nice poor mans AC on the highway.

Video works now Dave.

Now isn't that fancy, I've never seen a window do that before.

 

[bgbdlinc]

...glad it works, Gary and Bash. I for one, tend to underestimate the clever engineering talent that was around 80 or 90 years ago. This window mechanism with elaborate cam actions still looks magical to a non-engineering type like me (so I just had to keep them).

[Rusty Olds]

As an ex aircraft engineer I've done a bit of safety wiring in my time. Easy to underestimate the skill required.

 

[bgbdlinc]

....dash is also coming together along with the wiring....

Cool looking dash and jewlery...the speedo looks like there are jewels in it?! Nice is understated...
I keep watchin

[bgbdlinc]

....no jewels, just silver paint markers to indicate mph. I had a used one in the '46 Lincoln and it had gold markers and trim. This one is new old stock, hardly has any shelf wear, and is grey-metallic to match the dash.....

 

[Bash and scratch]

So the speedo is out of a Lincoln? Sweet looking dash Linc

[Rusty Olds]

Looks good Dave, but hang on the speedo and steering column are on the wrong side mate

 

[PG409]

Looking good David....I have been remiss in catching up on threads on here.
Car looks awesome..........

 

[hooligan]

Dash looks great! Nice work

 

[Speedy Canuck]

Man, I've sure missed a lot of progress! Things are looking great David!

 

[bgbdlinc]

....thanks all. The 'to do' list is shrinking down to the smalls and I'm getting more excited by the minute. I'm going to the shop on Monday to start the body surface treatment while Stony finishes the rad install, hoses, hood (maybe), gauge senders, and maybe start this beast.
After will come road tests, adjustments as required, more body stuff, then on the Jam Up Aug 19, 20, if all goes well. If it doesn't, I'll be cryin' in my beer on those days....

 

[Rusty Olds]

You really are moving ahead with this Dave,

 

[bgbdlinc]

....more things getting resolved re: pedals (cool spoon), speedo cable, trans tunnel, and horn location/install....

Man: Everything you guys do shows a "good eye"!
