I was just going to mention the "art deco" on the dash. Now all it needs is a little stripping.

I got the steering column all done. I originally planned getting one out of something else and put it in but it didn't take me long to figure out that wasn't going to work so I modified the internal shaft parts from the donor Lincoln and built everything else to get it to work. Also got a turn signal switch that was in a 54 Ford Coe that my neighbor is working on that he didn't need

Well I finally got a little done on the hotrod I've been on 20 hour a week overtime for the last 4 months but thats over for a little while. I got the drive shaft built and installed and the fuel cell in and lift cylinders on bed and bed cover also got the shifter mounted. With all that overtime I had a pretty nice nest egg for the hotrod but I blew most of it on a car for my 16 year old daughter so I'm broke again LOL ,,,,,Oh well she's happy and it'll get done when it gets done also got the door panels fabbed up when they are painted and in i'll post pics
