    That car was put together the year I got my drivers license (16 yo). I'm 65 now. It would have been an outstanding example of a hot rod back them. If it were mine I'd change very little and get it on the road. Not many get to drive a time capsule.

    Thanks for all the positive responses guys. What do you think of that padded dash? I am having a hard time warming up to it .Think it would be criminal to change it ? Appears that the stock upper rail is still intact They just hung that on top of it .

    I think she should be 100% left alone, she's a time capsule survivor that cannot be replicated without losing its soul.
    Congrats.

    Studefreak,

    Congrats. I was gonna hit the button on that car when I got home from work that day. By the time I got there it was gone. It is sweet. I don't think it would be a crime to change the dash as long as you re install the Auburn panel. Jim
     
  27. Glad you brought that up...it needs the cluster installed in one of the '29/'32 style dashes. They are available in steel or fiberglass.
