Pic 2, The clear coat in these pics still has to be wet sanded with 2000 grit then 3000 grit paper and buffed out, but you get the idea

Hondo, looks very nice.

And, that's a mighty nice looking dash in there, too. What kind of wood did you use? Did you have it fabricated?

Nice! :yesnod:

Hondo, great job and money well spent of the good stuff, makes a big difference to the final product. Look forward to seeing it soon. If you want to ride up to the show in Dobson on Saturday give me a call.

I admire your work and respect someone who does it on their own, and not just write a check.
