Little progress, needs more. 
sure has been a learnin curve for an old wrench. 
Every swing of the ax gets a little closer.

My personal nightmare
- Thread starter La Hot Rods
- Start date
Had to take a break from the dash..........
So went to work on the oil cooler lines.
The replacement ones just used a rubber bush through the radiator support and one had the end clocked wrong that put a bad twist in the hose.
After a order of fittings it now has a bulkhead fittings.

Thanks Brad.
This has got out of control
, not even sure how it happen. 
Chris, the owner of the car is one of my best friend
, he asked me to build him a car, so thought I would build him a nice one I guess.
Chris can't wrench, but he sure can cook.

Really lookin good James! Very nice work!
Thanks Jim.
Chris did bring an upholster down the other day, the good news was he didn't think I was going to have to do a bunch of work to pull it off.
The estimate he was talking sounded low, to me.

71 MGB, Chris loves a convertible.
And he is around most of the time the racing is going on. That picture of Chris is at the Meltdown Drags.

Little more bead rolling.
A lot of nice work you're doing there James!
Thanks Jim.
Hope to have it ready for primer this weekend, then its off to an upholstery shop.
Then with hopes I'll have all the loose ends taken care of before the dash is done.

Is all of your nice metal work going to be hidden by upholstery?
That's the plan.
Going have the top tuck and roll like the seats and some red piping to match.

Gettin closer
Got the dash parts in primer.
Hope to have an upholster stop by and see what they can pull off with it.
Piece by piece day by day, one step closer.
