Interior well underway. And got badges and AC control panel from polisher and dropped off at ceracote.

Question: Should I paint badges as in rendering or should I leave some polished exposed? Thoughts?

Dig the billet heater control.
Your Pops was a Hip Cat. I dream of redoing my Dads 70'.

I say match rendering. Include windowing the bow tie :cool:
Polished Billet isn’t timeless

Very nice. It’s always an education when you get to see first hand what TRUE attention to detail means.
Lots of guys have extremely nice cars and lots of guys do good work with varying budgets. But next level stuff always stands out.
C-10’s have always been a fan favorite, but they seem to be making a surge right now.
Fabricator I know has a couple in fab stages that are just mind blowing.

Put it this way, you'd be more likely to sell that yellow vector than I'd even think about selling either of these. Family Heirlooms.
Love the respect for things money cant buy!

Great write up, in sure your pops is looking down proud.

Art on wheels. Very impressive!! And a great tribute to your father. No doubt he's keeping an eye on things and is proud of your work.

Right on. stop by and introduce yourself. I'll be the bald guy standing next to it, trying to look like I know what I'm talking about.
