Re: 1940 dash replace

After fitting the clock with its modern parts, I blasted the housing and hinges. The black parts are powder coated and the silver is painted on the inside of the housing so hopefully it lights up nice. I polished the plastic clock face/door with my headlight polishing kit on both sides, it came out really good for being 70 year old plastic. I polished the original chrome and it came out nice. The stem for the clock set was too long so I cut it and welded it back together it was interesting to do being it was a very small diameter. I then reassembled the clock. I had tested the replacement clock for 24 hours previously to make sure it keeps time before going through all of this.
