Because of how big it is I decided to mount it on the end of the work bench

So back to the build I did not get nearly as much done to day as I had planned.

I cleaned up the dash and painted the inside to prevent rust.

I also por15'ed the ends of the dash where its bolts in.

How ever as I went to install the dash I had forgotten to mount the hydraulic clutch master for the nv4500. So I wanted to wait to weld the dash in so it would make installing the clutch master easier. I was hoping to have the dash in and the cab seam sealed and primed today. But I was not able to scuff the por15 to prep it for primer as the scuff pads did not come into day. I tried sandpaper but it went through the por15 and that defeats the purpose of having it. So it will be next week it will go into primer.


I used an existing hole to for the steering column bracket to mount the clutch master.
