Wow...we just moved from a 1937 Colonial in Old Rosedale and into a 1959 Mid Century Modern Ranch off 5 mile and Farmington
That's funny, because we just moved from 6th and Farmington in Burton Hollow Woods, big ass house, small garage, and neighbors that didn't dig old cars being worked on. Now we're in a smaller house with a way way bigger garage. And half my neighbors are Hot Rod or a sore muscle car freaks. I love it over here.
Had to step away from the chassis for a little bit, so I went ahead and mocked up my dash cluster. It started out as a box of miscellaneous parts that I bought at Hershey piece by piece. Late twenties Studebaker face bezel and glass, with 60s style Stewart Warner's. Had to enlarge the two outside holes to accept the rings of the gauges, which come in from behind to give it a little cleaner look. The shape of the gauge bezel mimics the 32 however quite a bit larger. I'm on a budget, and I managed to put this together for just under $200.
there's a steel flat panel, I mounted the gauges to that and then placed the face over that, effectively sandwiching the gauges in place. Back Looks good enough that I'm not ashamed , and bad enough that I'm glad it won't be seen. LOL
Wow...great pair of headlights...made here in Detroit..this will be one of the best cars in the Motor City
Got my cowl steering sorted out and installed. A body molar box, 40 pickup column and A lot of steel support. Special thanks to fellow HAMB member Dave at throwback designs, he made the Pittman arm, tube and flanges as well as the awesome cast aluminium blister. Nice stuff. It's a sturdy set up, and I'm very happy with the outcome
Getting close to blocking and sealer. Wheel arch raised 2 inches, was a little challenging getting character lines to meet up and look good narrowed. I'm happy with the result.
Looks nice and well done. Can you show details how the E&J lights are fitted , please ? How much can you adjustiert them ?
Maybe not a beater, but something I don't have to wash and wax every time I take it out. I want to spend more time driving, and a whole lot less time cleaning. LOL
