    Love that set of gauges. Clean and simple, but have the classy look without looking like a freaking circus. Looks perfectly framed in the raised center section. Strange that the clock does not look out of place, but I think the raised center makes it all work.

    Ok, I'll shut up now

    picked up this nifty turn signal switch a little while ago,

    stripped the paint off, sanded most of the pits out, gave it a quick pollish
    and made a strap to attach it to the column

    JEALOUSY!! Can I have your car? Please? Pleeeease!
    I love the proportions and that your using a Model A frame. I think '26-'27 roadsters look the best on 'em. Cool!

    Lovin' the T. This one sits "just right". I assume you did the 2" Tardel thing in the rear. Could you share the tire sizes you have on now? It looks absolutly perfect in the pic in frame 371. What a stance!

    That carpet really ties the room together. :D I'm stealing the bus seat idea, for sure.

    man, what happened to this thing? Soooooo amzing! Just read this entire thread, really like what I saw! I have an old 48 Cad flathead, so if you ever decide that you don't want the blower anymore, let me know ;-)

    I really like that. Nice little detail. Like the way the curve of the glass picks up the curve of the bottom of the cap. Very nice.

    been a while since I posted on this one, what little time I have had for building has been spent on the coupe

    but I did pick up another key ingredient needed to mount the McCulloch to the Olds
    I had a decent bracket but no tension arm
    when a better bracket with arm turned up I bit the bullet and snapped it up.

    bought a little antique GB toy plane last week, made a mount for it and bolted it to the stock radiator cap

    decent weather today so I rolled the cars out for some air and light
    and took a few pictures
