Some new shots of the 1800

 

Here are the latest shots, I'd say we are 90% done.  Thanks, Dad.




Interior.  Dad did the dash in Walnut veneer, all of the Instruments were rebuilt, and I am in the process of making new knobs for the dash switches.  The shift knob is made of pipe-grade briar, which I made with the help of Scott Thile, who makes exceptional pipes (the smoking kind, not the wailing kind).


Side view.  The spooky silhouette in the tinted window is Valentino, my dog.  If I am anywhere near the car he MUST be inside.  He loves to ride, even if the seats are not very easy for him to sit in.
 
Standard beauty shot.  Love the wheels!  I found them at a local junkyard, and had them machined lightly to fit over the hubs and used spacers to get clearance on the body.  Definitely the single best cosmetic addition to this car, and the compliments skyrocketed after I added them.

More photos in the photo section if you are interested.
