Putting the Box together (for the second time) I keep finding additional bits that need sorting, before I complete the repaint and final assembly and the dashboard is one of them.
When found, a previous owner had fitted a huge valve wireless in the glove box, with a glorious plywood facia ( look at the “before” photograph!) together with what I’m told was the cockpit heater out of a WW2 aeroplane, the result was the dash was hacksawed up and drilled with myriad holes.
I’ve made all the replacement metalwork from 18 gauge steel and the after shot shows them all welded in place....now to make it look nice...
