Hi guys! Haven't posted progress on this project for some time, so it's time to play catch up. Made a considerable amount of progress on the interior, up top and boot in the past few months, but still have a long way to go. Mostly parts modifications and fabrication, but the interior and top parts are nearly finished. A lot of scratch made parts have been made, including such parts as new bright work on the dash, as well as new dash knobs, dash mounted tach, ash tray, steering column collar and ignition switch. New ash tray and interior light detail was added to the rear door panels and new arm rests were constructed. A new shift boot and dimmer switch were added to the floor plate and parking brake and vent knobs added to the dash. New sun visors were also scratch made. Mods include a modified steering wheel and revamped pedals. The up top was extensively modified, and the top boot had more detail added as well. Lots of pics to add, so bear with me.

very nice. being a convertible, you will be able to show off all that work. hate to back step, did you scratch that speaker for the rear seat? I'm really sorry tubbs, but I must have missed your post, and thereby your question.
The rear speaker is modified from the Monogram 1959 Impala kit.
I ground out the center and then replaced it with a piece of PE grille, a piece of aluminum and a couple of pieces of silver wire.
Again, very sorry to have missed your post.

Thinking that I finally have the removable magnetic hood hinges pretty much wrapped up.

In the shop working on the '64 Bonneville again today. Today I started adding some inner fender lip detail, along with mounting areas for the removable hinges. This adds some more visual appeal, as well as giving the hinges a perceived attachment point so that they don't appear to be floating in space.

I'm really sorry that I haven't visited in quite a while guys, but I just want you to know that I'm still alive and kicking.
I've made considerable progress on this 1964 Bonneville build, (Of course I haven't posted any progress since last August, so I'd better have made some!)
Anyway, I'll break this up into several posts and give you some idea of what I've been playing with for the past 9 months!
First, some paint, foil and interior detail updates.
Steve
