Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd

well this has been a slow build...problem after problem.
after waiting a couple months, some of the interior parts i ordered from fleabay never showed up, ebay says it was a scammer seller...so i'm making my own junk instead.

then i tried to find some 1970's era "harvest gold" paint for the appliances...good luck with that...only found 1 place and they don't ship paint over the border....so i mixed up 3 or 4 colors to try make my own...
also painted the plastic to look like wood

and my rottie puppy has developed a taste for styrene... (actually developed a taste for anything she can fit in her mouth...lol)
spent hrs making louvers for the front window shade....then Roxie got it...i was able to salvage some of the louvers, but nothing else, so i made another one and made it smaller due to not having all the louvers.
if you look close, there is still teeth marks in some louvers i need to fix...
