I got the word that Ron, who is going to do the woodgraining, is ready for the parts.

So I'll be pulling the dash panels and door moldings back off the car to send to him. He will glass bead them and clean them up as needed before he starts the woodgraining process.

Also, I ordered a couple of headlight junction blocks that are similar to what was used on the '54. I really wanted something that makes disconnecting the front-end electrical quick and easy, as I can imagine I will have all of it apart many times over the life of this project. I'll mount those to the inner fenders.

The horns on this car are tucked up the front frame corners. So completely hidden. I'm pretty sure they are from 55/56. I only found them when I initially removed the front bumper, and the horns were obscuring access to the bolts.

It was an excellent solution to where to put them, and I am sure Mark did that as mounting them in the original location was not really an option with the Jag motor.

They are totally invisible where they are located unless you get underneath the car.

I can also use that junction block to tie the horns together as well. This hopefully gives me a place to tie in front turn signals in the future.
