Randy....wherefore art thou....Randy? I think you may be allowing the truck and all of the parts to patina on your shelf but its sat there long enough. Don't even bother to dust it off, just please get back to work on it.

Every time I see there's an update to this thread I'm exceedingly hopeful you've provided us with another update and gotten some more work done on your build. Alas, this is not the case. Sigh...

Thanks Joe ! The conduit is just copper wire wrapped around a wire core....

The brass benzels are made with a slice of tubing that is given a concave shape using the dapping tool.
