This past week we worked on a few things. The seat frames, the shifter cover and the instrument cluster. The seat frames are well on there way. Both are ready for welding and all we are waiting for are the front and side braces. I dug out a small sheet of 10 ga I will be taking to work to have all of this stuff cut out on the laser... Much faster and neater. I will also have them make a set for the rear seats for when I get around to building/adding those.

Mel did the brunt of the work on the seat frames, After we got them bent up and designed last week he has been mocking them up and drilling holes. I spent most of my time working on the shifter cover and getting that fit and smoothed and primed. It's not done by any means but it is well on it's way.
This is after a couple applications of bondo. Starting to smooth out quickly.

The cleco in the lower right corner is holding the two halfs together. Just to the left of the cleco is a verticle seam between the two parts... Can you see it? I think not...

The upper cleco is doing the same work but that seam is more visible because it I have sanded down thru the bondo on the removable piece to the 'glass so you can see the transition... It goes away in primer.

The seat braces and gage cluster face are in for laser cutting. I took in the steel for the braces yesterday. I hope to have the parts tomorrow or Monday.
Thanks for looking
