Working on a 68 that has had some smoothing work done on it, but nowhere close to this level of work.

Excellent job!

The bumpers started life as four 67-69 camaro bumpers, and for the the flip up lid in the console we used the mechanism from a 90-92 volkswagen corrado/passat ash tray

Wow, looks awesome!

How do the front fenders mount with the cowl welded onto the cab?

Where/how does the steering column go or work ??:uhmk: We talking offset steering shaft or Prius steering??
