Oh, well hello there stranger.

Was wondering as to how you were making out? Looking real good.

THIS is what Build Back Better looks like but only 90% OCD.

What is 100% OCD ?

That would be running the wiring inside the tubes...less tie straps too. lol

The grain on the dash really popped well after clearing.

Running the grain vertical rather than horizontal is rather unique as most run horizontal.

I like it.....Grade A Marine? Birch? Maple?

Any resolve on door frames yet?

Or hood and trunk hinges?

You can always go Old School on the trunk with outer hinges.

Anywho.....looking quite very fine.

Later.....

Just had an afterthought about your build.

Documentation of a build like yours is super important especially if?

Down the road in time if you decide to sell as it will add value.

As you are taking lots of pics of progress.

Do you have a local to you Walgreens that has a Photo Machine that you can plug into and print out 4"x6" pictures to put into a Photo Album?

Pretty sure it's the same machine that "Wally" has.

Just a lot less people to deal with.

I would just hate to think that you could possibly lose the pics along the way.

Especially after the body gets permanently mounted.

Just a friendly thought/suggestion as the words "You Should" is not in my vocabulary.

It's kinda like the 2 Laptops I have that "died" within a week of ea other.

I really want to retrieve the photos in those 2 but,

the only person I currently trust to do that is 1,600 miles away.

I don't dare to delete any pics in my DigiCam for a good while now.

If and when it reaches full capacity?

I'll just get another memory card for it and another and another etc.

Maybe you have a "Cloud" backup?

Which is something that I don't use or have any knowledge in regards.

Was not "The Web Guy" going to set up something for you in "The Garage Section" ?

Just going by memory on that one as I don't use this email address much if any at all lately,

which is linked to Aurora Cobra.

Looks like I need to wade through the very many emails on this?

Anywho again nice workmanship.

"Do Good Do More"

Hello my friend, how have you been Haywood? Well for me, I work way too much and don't work enough on the car. As to your question on the dash veneer. I started off with oak plywood. I made it and cut all the holes needed. When I finished it with stain I hated it! So I looked for a veneer that was different. I found on eBay a piece that would cover the dash without having to buy a 4x8 sheet at $400. It Figured African Makore. I veneered it and the used marine varnish to finish it.  It took me a few tries to get the coats laying down like glass. I made up hood and trunk hinges.  I am putting the body on again this week. I have put the body on and off at least 6 times. Each time is for a reason. This time is to make up the door hinges and frames. Then get them swinging.  I will set the hood and trunk lid as well. Lastly mock up and mount bumper mounts. oh yeah I have to fit wheel well liners. All of this work to take it all apart again. then a bunch of fiberglass work while separated. So much modifying and fabrication is needed to complete my vision.I am going for looks of a period correct 1964 Cobra but with the Aurora bad ass chassis and suspension! I did a walk around video and started it up. I need to figure out how to convert to PDF so I can post it. For some reason I can only post one picture at a time? even if I send it as small as possible. Also I do have everything in the cloud. I am going to make a album  with the history of the car and the build I am doing. I will use printed pictures in the album.  

Again thank you for the kind words. Get down to Florida and visit, hey.

Cheers

Amazing passion on this one!

Well, I was kinda thinking that 2 things may have happened to you?

1 You got thrown in the "Hoosegow" for "Wrong Think" which is highly unlikely in the most free place on the planet under Ron Desantis.

2 You were just very busy with work.

My Happy and Positive thoughts leaned towards the latter.

But if it was the "previous" #1 ?

Even though you and I have never met in person.....as yet.

I woulda tossed out Bail $ for you and hooked you up with one of the very best of Orthadox Jew Lawyers in Broward County. 

No lol on that one.

Rather quite lucky to have found one "up here" where I currently am.

The funny?.....found him through my Muslim Accountant.

I have NO Muslim sensitivity but, I really like him because he is a very hard core "Car Guy".

We get along like a house on fire in a good way.

His daily driver?

Is a 2020 AMG "GlendaWagon" with 40k miles on it now.

I would have never thought that your dash had a veneer on it?

I knew that it wasn't Teak though as I have 3pcs of MCM (Mid Century Modern) in my current abode.

A Bar/Cabinet, a 12 drawer Dresser and a "Gentleman's Closet".

This may or may not make you cringe?

But,

some years ago back I scooped up some "scrap wood" from a Carpenter Shop in SE FL that was closing down.

It was 4' long and 16" wide and 3" in depth.

Had it cut into 12" length pieces.

Little did I know that it was actually SA Mahogany.....NOT from the Philippines.

Here's where the cringe may possibly start?

I currently use 1 under my Race Car trailer's front jack that is missing the wheel.

And 2 others as "wheel chalks" and the 4th is unused.

Very very few would know what the wood is as they are "rough cut".

Veneer wise on those Rough Cuts I have?

Rather hard for me to say what their worth may be?

Best that I just keep that "Incognito" for now methinks.

I was actually in FL on June 15th/16th?

And called you from a 954# but no answer or a call back from you.

I was @ FXE and could have rented a veh for a bit and changed my itinerary to visit you.

Bunch of us got a Citation 10seater from YTZ to FXE and then over to NAS for a wedding in Lyford Cay New Providence.

So YTZ>FXE>NAS.

I didn't wanna hang on for a few more days so,

I went NAS>YYZ commercial which was a big huge mistake.

And now I am battling a $5k fine for refusing to comply with Arrive.Can.

Ya gotta luv "Hall Monitors" that have a clipboard and a whistle right?

I'll make this also "Go Away" but it's just a time consuming PITA.

My next ETA in FL could be mid/late October? Pending.....?

Final Prep and Paint ???

I could be there for you for that quite possibly maybe.

As long as your bigazz dog doesn't use me as a "Chew Toy".....lol

I've got 3 RE pretty hot pokers in the fireplace right now.

It's kinda like throwing Spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks right now.

All 3 are unique in variant ways that I won't get into.

Interesting about the "Veneer" on the dash.

As I never woulda thunk that to be veneer.....

Later.....

Maybe Oct ish possibly?
