Looks great Dave.

Whereabouts did you get the strapping material. That is one item I have had issues trying to find. I can't see to find the stuff that matches the originals closely.

Jordan I purchased the rubber (2 and 3 ply) in sheets from Granger in the US, They have a great selection as well as all of the felt I needed to do the carrier as well.

Also I cleaned up my steering wheel and gave it a fresh coat of paint for the NEW look

Well I finished off the week with the installation of the dash and the wiring to it, All done now except for hooking up the lights. I made the rubber spacer that goes between the dash and the front armor using the dash and pieces from an original one. Also I made a sort of hangman's tree to hang the dash from to hold it while I was wiring it up and it was a big help.
