RUNNING BOARD: What it looks like bare naked after burning off all the rubber and soaking in the rust tank, the Oregon way.

UPHOLSTERY: Progress on front seat cushion.

WOOD TOP RECEPTACLE: It took assistance from Theron and Shelby from Beaverton Auto Upholstery, plus Gary Martin, Martin Model & Pattern, who crafted the box,http://www.martinmodel.com/, my son John, and myself to coax the box in. We started with 3 parts, the box proper and the two arms that jut forward to where the top brackets mount.

Steve Macleay, BAU, suggested SparVar, marine varnish, used on their boat projects. Once varnished, the work on the top can commerce next week.
