That is cool but I like Rain-X

Nice work! I didn't have any wiper arms on my 40 for a couple years, and I was really surprised how well the rain-x actually worked! My wipers never worked that great, so I may not put the crappy elec conv set up back on it.

Well Charlie, according to my Brother who lives in the North of England, their summer is counted in hours not days or like most countries, months so although Rain-x is good and helps, but one needs wipers for sure in England .

Unfortunately our road laws are far more stringent than yours Charlie, I could never get away with running no wipers, would be points on my license and a fine, we have to have washers too along with handbrake, our cars go through a stringent Ministry of Transport test every year and everything gets checked, brakes are checked on a electronic rolling brake meter, a blown bulb and your off the road till its fixed

You guys in the states have it really easy when it comes to building Hotrods

Fun detail stuff too,love the build.

That car is looking really nice! Question for ya though, when you cut in your headlights how were you sure that your light bucket was in there perfectly straight. The template is great but I dont want the thing to be slightly tilted at all. I guess with some good measuring it will work out.

I just set the template up with a plumb bob, the holes give you a small amount of adjustment.

We were blessed with some sunshine today so knocked off a bit earlier as I needed to get some of my interior sorted as my mate steve will be ready to do the headliner soon.
Made up some rear quarter panels in 3mm ply, had to make these in 2 pieces to get around the cage bits, doesn't matter as i'm covering everything in black carpet anyway, nice and cheap and looks tidy.
I had a few rolls of adhesieve backed acoustic foam on the shelf so decided to put that in, I have 2 thicknesses 3/8" & 1/4", I used to use this for silencing mobile generators, its excellent stuff, nice thing about it is its a dense foam so carpet can be glued to it, it also goes over wiring etc and leaves a perfectly smooth surface, its also extremely sticky and once stuck down it stays there, you can't make no mistakes applying it for sure.

Got the carpet on the rear firewall and 1/4 panels but run out of time, Hopefully get the rest covered in carpet tomorrow evening.
