Tom
I think your decision to change the color of the top to black was a great one. It looks super that way.

West,
Thanks. I was hesitant at first because you know how black shows everything. I can't wait to get her running again so I can pull her outside in the Sun and see what she looks like in natural light. ![]()

My younger brother came over on Monday and we reinstalled the cylinder block and pistons. He also came back on Tuesday but before we did any work on Old Bessie we replaced the front hubs and front brakes on his Dakota Sport.
After working on his truck we cleaned up the head for Old Bessie and reinstalled it. We put some old acorn nuts back on and put a fresh coat of Hirches green paint. It is not my best but it will make do. Attach file: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

My goal this year was to get the body painted during the summer months that way during the cooler (colder) months I could spend my time on putting the engine back together and attach all the other misc. parts that are laying all over the house. Quote:

I picked up the Dashboard and other parts from the shop the other day. This is the same shop that did all the metal work for me. He did not do the wood-graining he has a lady that does it for him and it is all done by hand.
Here are a few pictures of the dash. Not the best lighting but can see her work. I very please with them and amazed the talent people have when it come to that kind of work. Now I need to have the trim pieces re-chromed and some need to be fixed. Anyone have a source on where one can but them? Attach file: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
