Well, the little 150 is coming along well. I finished up the front wheel fenders. Made them from the original rear fenders, plus some drops from the front and rear roof bulkheads.
I was going to remove the hydraulic control from the steering column and mount it on the console that will be built between the seats, BUT I scuttled that design in-lue of building RH and LH foot controls. I think the foot controls will be much easier to use.
I have been thinking about paint scheme, and thinking it will resemble a Golden Demonstrator, only reversed. Frame and chassis, painted black, sheet metal, roof and wheels Desert Sunset, and Power Red, with some graphics on the side of the hood, 60s styling.
The wifey has picked up some black vinyl seat material, and padding, to make cushions and back rests from. She is already talking about how she is going to use it around the yard and garden. I have a Case Hi-Haul trailer for it.

PS I sat in my pondering chair yesterday afternoon and got to thinking that the steering wheel could be a little handier to reach with the new seating. I have several steering shafts from 20-2290 steering columns with U joints in them. Maybe tilting steering wheel ???? The gears are turning.
