ceiling, checker plate and rosewood

rosewood and checker plate

On Saturday morning I drove to Reinach at the lake Hallwil to Zimmi Power. Mister Zimmermann welded a glove box with a checker plate front.

Unfortunately the design for it is from last august, and in the meantime it doesn't fit anymore into the dashboard. So I will upholster it with leatherette, but work was not for nothing, because there was no glove box at all in the van before...

Then I went directly to Lüti Carrosserie- und Lackiercenter AG in Kirchdorf to pick up the instruments and decorative panels for the dashboard: in a luxury rosewood design. Looks pretty cool heh?!
