Those wheels are probably either OEM US Ford items, or aftermarket ones made by a company such as Wheel Vintiques.

Tip:
Losen all screws that you have tighten so far on the front axel assemply and re-tighten when car is finished. Or, all the bushes will be torn wrongly when car is installed with engine and at running weight.

I quite like the uncovered dash look. I saw a pic of a german amazon with a body coloured stripped dash except for the instrument binnacle. Nice alternative to the usual cracking.

white color coded wheels
hi ya folks
i have got a few photos to share but now i have got some other tasks out of the way i can spend more time on this for a week and a few days so should be a jump on the progress shortly . ok well i have all 5 wheel back from the bodyshop now color coded to the car some parts out ready to clean then re paint will comense , plus the overdrive gearbox is shown , i had to aswell re paint under the floor due to the bodyshop getting over spray in key areas so another coat all over was needed to perk it back up more protection in place so that my way of thinking lol. and i started cleaning and painting bits on the rear axle i am planing to pull the hubs and redo each completly with new wheel cylinders and fittings at that stage pop it back togeather and start making brake pipes up , also the fuel line while i have the flare tool out on bench more to follow at the end of the week ...... regards robert

chrome roof aerial plus lots of small jobs done
hi ya folks
well i know we love seeing images on the forum so i dont fell bad when i keep adding lots of images but i find its a clear easy way of showing the progress so here is some more progress i had done today after a bit of running around this morning i set to work on lots of small nick knacky jobs i call em but needing to be done to move forward to the next job at hand . i fitted the chrome roof antenna looks fantastic i must say and a pleasure to fit apart from the feeding it through the corner of the pillar ( from headling ) down the pillar tight as a nuns **** that was but she slid in and tucked down by the dash completing that job . i then fitted out both doors with new window seal kits and window guides with new seals smooth running is an understatement so glad i did the guides , fitted some side trim to the car it will need buffing up with stainless polish when i get time too shiner up . i finished off putting the hubs together after a good clean and service i was shocked to find all new parts within that area wheel cylinders + shoes and adjusting arms all was done prior to me getting the car by the looks of it so made my job alot easier indeed after that was back in one piece i painted the hubs ( was painted internally aswell to keep fresh and clean from rust elements ). manged to get the rear side panels fitted with chrome ashtrays aswell so ..... tomorrow i will be doing the front windscreen now that the roof antenna is fitted including the chrome trims + gearbox + OD + props and anything else with the time allowed maybe last few bits painted up with a second coat awaiting fitment within the engine bay Regards Robert

Getting there bit by bit. Glad to see you are replacing the rubbers etc, makes a big difference when using the car.
