borrowed a petrol cap cover and had it mixed. color coice i think was the hardest desision. went for the least common (ct) and most original. retro coll is xactly the lokk im going for.-

Re: my ol '66
hi guyz, its been a while since my last update. wont bore u with why's of the delays but its pretty much to do with when u outsourcing work and having to do it all over coz some ppl just dont take pride in wat they do. this weekend i got a few things done and hav taken some pics.
1) fitted cane parcel tray that i made
2) fitted my special gear knob
3) worked on my steering wheel that i stuffed up
4) polished and fitted rear ash tray
5) fitted door stoppers
6) fitted dash cover panel in bonnet

Re: my ol '66
i used the same cane that is used for woven baskets, i first burnt it a bit with a blow torch to give it some grain, then stained it with wooddoc stainer to give it the dark redish colour.Bugger wrote:That parcel tray came out Quite well
