Dash instrument decals arrived late this week. They were fairly good quality, but could have been a bit sharper in definition. With that said, they certainly don't look bad.

I applied them to the gauges Thursday evening, and did the application of speedo mileage wheels last night. Not a job for anyone with poor eyesight, or if tired.

When tested, the speedometer and three of the gauges were in excellent working order! The oil pressure gauge was u/s though. This is only a minor concern because I have located a NOS one in USA which is now on the way. It still amazes me that I can buy something from other side of the world, and it is still cheaper that the bloke down the road.

Cabin floor and frame is now with sandblaster. I expect to pick it up again next Saturday. Might remove the transfer case and front driveshaft tomorrow, if weather holds out.
