  11. I can’t say enough good [​IMG]about the wood kit I got from Brad Brown in Friday Harbor WA. Fits perfectly without cutting, beautifully finished, with quality fasteners. I highly recommend him.

  12. Nailhead in a 34. It can be done, but it isn’t easy. When you have a large starter (I just can’t bring myself to use a compact gear reduction unit) an F-1 steering box and clutch linkage, vying for the same 12 sq. in. Of space, it gets crowded. I’ve found it necessary to move the engine/trans centreline 3/4” to the right. It isn’t noticeable unless you really study it, but it is what it is. This gives me 1/2” between the steering box and starter. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    And that's why I have an adapter to move my starter to the right side

  14. Yes, but your hemi is wider and an adapter is made. I’ve not seen one for an early nailhead. Just need more improvisation.

  24. Getting anxious to get the final few details wrapped up and get the body off for paint. Getting close to that. The model A brake actuator arm above, attaches to a cross brace from post/post to support the dash and add rigidity.
