Cool New Wheels

As installed. The bottom rub rail under the dash is no longer a soft foam structure but rather a hard rounded wood profile was used. That way pushing on the rail will not flex the leather and cause it to break through as often happens with these.

Did not see a need. Formica is designed to take a lot of abuse and as you can see in the picture (prior link) it looks pretty nice in the fake wood grain.

Re-drilled the dash after filling in old holes with Bondo. After redrill of everything contact adhesive a sheet of formica over the whole thing, and then drill out the Formica as per the holes in the plywood dash.

The formica dash covering used by Harrington for the LeMans has held up good for 55 years. The only problem on one of my cars is that the glue has given out and the formica is loose in a couple spots on the edges.

Looks very nice!

I got rid of some unused features (cigarette lighter, etc) and added some things (4X flasher, turn signal indicators, accy-run-crank lights) that were not in the S2 design.
