Bought this to go on my 34 coupe just for fun but never used it. It’s NOS other then being assembled and sitting in my shop. Everything unbolts....
And the awesome upholstery man sent me a couple pics of the first seat done. Old school. And of course flake because I love flake [ATTACH][ATTACH]
I was lucky enough to be in Yakima this year with the 34. This is the run my mom got sick at last year and passed away shortly after. The 34 that...

I almost bought that scoop. I need a screen for mine damnit.
Little welding. Little grinding and a quick paint job gives it the look I wanted to see before putting white on there with vinyl. I dig the white....

A little top treatment. Going to plug weld some bolts under where the screws are now and have the metal covered in white vinyl. Unboltable but...
I took 1” out of dead center. Cut the long ends off the speaker grille. Widened the radio hole a 1/2” each way and I used a junk 34 dash to weld...
There’s a little better showing. The gauges are tucked under enough to hide away. [ATTACH]
The gauges are tucked underneath the dash so you won’t see them. I didn’t want to trust old gauges with oil pressure on a motor I now have $37k...
