And mounting the Booster/Cylinder.

oh yeah! cab looking great!

[Madman]

Started working the instrument panel...damned thing is filthy!

[Madman]

Pulled the meters and painted the assembly.

[Madman]

Washed the panel (and the dishes since I had the water!)

[Madman]

Wanted to try something a little different for the instrument panel. I have two, so I can play with one. This is the color of some of the interior metal to be offset with the white of the remaining cab. What do you think?

[SeapineF37]

i dig the green. maybe you could do the center bar in the white, and maybe the large oval trim ring? and leave the FORD letters green... would give more depth to the finish. or maybe white in the back areas that are usually black?

I figure on painting all the originally black areas white, and the center bar of the panel white, and I'd love to do the "FORD" in green but that may be too complex for my limited skills, but it would look great!

[Madman]

Working on the instrument panel some more. Had to go solid white for the center to start, my precision painting skills need improvement.

[Madman]

Painted the needles with new orange paint, but this pic may be a bit weak.

[Madman]

Going together well

[Madman]

Glued in the light tunnels.

[Madman]

And the Speedo in now in!

[Madman]

Cover on...almost there!
