Post Pictures of Vintage race car interiors HERE

Here are a few pictures of my unfinished Henry J Gasser interior to start it off.

 

This thread should be good, I'll try and dig up some pictures tomorrow.

 

just now starting on the floor and door panels

 

I am working on mine, trying to decide between carpet or a rubber mat.

 

Here is a picture of the inside of the Rebel Reaper from day one. I really didn't think much of what the inside looked like when I built the car. It was a function over form mentality. Gauges easy to see, wiring easy to get too....

 

Then I scored a steel dash at the local swap meet and decided to make the change last winter. I am glad I did!

 

I relocated all the wiring to behind the seat except the fuse box. I like the glass fuses cause they are easy to see if they are still good, and I wanted to be able to still view them while in the car. My cooling system fuse blew on pass and I saw the flash from the fuse, kept me from getting the motor too hot. The fuzes are behind where the speedo would be....I decided to leave the globe box openings open, in theme with the late sixties era I was shooting for with my car. In other words, no unessary weight.

 

Here are a few from the "cool idea file" for my tudor. Most have been copied from the HAMB.
