Today it's all hands on deck with the final fitout of Woody's wagon; probably shouldn't say final fitout because it still has to go for exhaust and electrical work before it's finished. But as you can see the interior is all in and Dave is inside the cabin fitting the massive amount of dress 'chrome' fittings . . .
Down the back and Andrew has had the unenviable job of trying to fit new locks and winders to the tail-gate as well as the tail lights etc. . .
After a full day of fitting the boys are still faced by this table full of dress fittings and this doesn't take into account the huge pile of stainless steel dress fittings that have been sent away to the polishers. . .
As you all know, when it comes to restoring old girls like this Dodge, good old parts are few and far between, especially when the car has been imported privately in to the country. Here the headlight mounts were in very poor condition and they had to be re-structured using a fibreglass compund with metal fibres mixed in together for a very tough finish . . .
Tough allright, 'D' is seen here very busily grinding away with the dremel tool, reshaping the surrounds so that the new glass will fit snugly into their new home. Does it take time? Sure does, because you have to wait for the compound to dry overnight and then the grinding starts. 'D' is on the first of three mounts bezel mounts that had to be repaired . . .
