Instrument cluster is just about done. Before and after photos . More parts coming next week . If some one has a spare correct speedometer sticker that would be great ! I've Google for one , but only find the same as I have .

I bought a set of early style decals off ebay. The seller is based in the usa and has decal sets for 1940's ford instrument panels. Price is fairly reasonable at about $100 with postage. He also supplies new numbers for the odometer barrels too in the set.

Good luck.

Matt.

This week I've finished the dash off , lots of chasing up of parts , frustrating at times but satisfying to have it in the carrier tonight .








Also rebuilt and restored the rear engine gear box mount .

Followed Darrin's lead and made up the hooks and buckles, not much fun , but worth the effort . I'll sew up the pattern 37 next week . Not much time to work on carrier lately . I have all the cover plates and leather parts done, painted up the fuel cross over lever rod and restored the track winch and special handle for it , also painted the air ducting . Just waiting on the motor to be rebuilt .. Dale
