December and January were productive months for Mater. He got a new nervous system (dash gauages and wiring harness) compliments of a very wonderful Mrs. Claus...i.e. my wife! The dash panel was fabricated from 16g steel and made to be easily removable for any work that needs done.
I also found some comparison pictures for the engine compartment. Amazong what a little (alot) of elbow grease, grinders, and spray paint will do.
It's amazing to see the truck come back together. It is a lot of fun. This is what Mater looked like a few months after getting him home. It's fun to be in the buildup stage finally.
Right now I am working on some broken metal areas aroung the hood hinges. 60 years have left them weak and broken. That should be put back together tonight then I hope to get the hood and grill mounted by the weekend.
