My Friend Anthony Nue , along with most anything interior related on this project . The stuff was quite beat down and he was able to salvage it. I am using wood restored/ made by our own Peter Coomaraswamy

I'm totally the novice here but having fun sniffing all the paints and stains! I finished staining the dash this morning and I'll be spraying the automotive clear-coat before leaving work tonight. Here is a before picture- I hope it looks reasonable tomorrow morning!

The gauge cluster has new veneer but the other dash pieces were stripped and re-stained

the body work is progressing . Its been primed and they are doing the final sanding and blocking before it gets sealed for the color to be applied

I am really happy with how they molded the front spoiler in and blended it with the fender flares , It should be a nice detail when its finished

I love the look of the black!
I wonder, do you want the wood grain visible or would it be cool to machine it out of delrin sheets, or something like that? Super easy on a mill or saw.. Hmmm...know my mind is wondering....damn!
 
Wheels have been refinished and had the centers painted Charcoal to match some the interior pieces

Hey Brendan -- What fasteners did you use on the wheels and where did you get them?

The wheels are actually being built at BBS , so the hardware is what ever they use , and David The rears will be 17 x 10.5 and the fronts more than likely will end up being 17 x 9
