Step 1: Start by cutting the firewall (H) to size from 7i"-thick white oak. Using dimensions on the Firewall drawing, cut the two top comers at 45°. Center the front face of the firewall against the back of the hood, and mark the hood profile on the firewall. Next, bevel the edges of the firewall from these lines as dimensioned on the same drawing. Locate and drill the 40°-down-angled *A" hole for the steering column. Then, cut a I 'A" length of3/*" dowel for the steering column, and glue the steering wheel (a 1 "-diameter. 'A"-thick wheel) to the column. Finally, glue the steering column into the firewall hole. Step 2: To make the side panels (I), rip and crosscut two V"-thick pieces of walnut to 3,/ixl0". Stack the two pieces together using double-faced tape. Using the full-sized Side pattern, transfer the window outlines onto the top piece. Cut out the window openings. Now, separate the side panels, then mark and cut the V-decp bandsaw kerfs into the outside faces of both. Step 3: To shape the back (J), first rip a piece of I'/V'-thick red oak to 3%x 6". Next, cut a 45° miter along the bottom end of the piece. Hold the back in place against one of the side panels to mark it for the top cut that establishes the back's length. Step 4: Trim off the inside of the back piece where suggested by the dashed line on the Side View drawing to create a flat surface. Next, lay out the back window using the dimensions on the Back View drawing. With the back resting on its flat surface, cut out the back window as shown in figure 1.
