Any idea what was in the hole to the left of the steering wheel hub? I dont think this was factory....maybe an 8 track or something....(haha)

HAHA, not sure......it been a very long time since I seen a 45, maybe Isotoner gloves, I dont know....I think I will plug the hole and put a vainer over it, and the real glove box side....

Thanks WoG, I think the plan is to get her in sorted out in primer, re-aquaint the two halves, then shoot the shiny stuff. Then over the winter, get the seats, benches and wood work done. Spring time, reinstall all the hardware, paint the motor and install.

You guys know the best way to make God laugh.........tell him your plans!!!! We will see how it goes.

Love that boat, can't wait to see the cap painted and back on. Hope your Sooners end up better than my Missouri Tigers today...
