More bits and pieces

June 2013
1. Decided to have a couple of wheels shot blasted and painted to see how they came out. So hammered out any dents in the rims, got them shot blasted locally and I added a few coats of primer, top coat and lacquer. Result was good enough. Colour is Ford Ivory! Now I only need tyres, valves and hub caps!
Can I have tubeless crossply tyres?


2. Got some 7 inch repro chrome headlamps off Ebay. They may just do the trick?

3. Got around to painting the dashboard tray. Have also filled in the cutout for the heater vent as I decided not to fit a heater. Therefore have two spare heater outlet nozzles should someone want them?
