Glad to hear its running for ya now. Just need to chase out the little things. I hope you're wrong about the aftermarket shafts! I just bought 2 sets and am skeptical about them now! TIRED of this CHINA crap!
I like the hood pin Idea! Very cool! :-X22 Next step is a trailer hitch, speakers and interior lights. |
What keeps the hood pin from rattling out? I'd use a hairpin clip like racers use for their hoods, or a push button quick release pin (I don't know if they come 1/4" diameter check in the specialty hardware drawers at you local DIY store or a farm supply store for a selection of pins and clips)

I'll get you that hitch measurement if it ever stops raining. Been raining every day for over a week now. My back yard weed patch aka lawn is 2' tall literally!

More small stuff. I didn't want to pull up the lower column mount to put in the rubber floor mat, so I cut around it. Of course it wasn't clean and straight and the cut out for the brake pedal was off too. So I made a cover for it.......not 100% if I like it but it's in.

Also put the interior lights in, I wanted small but big enough to cover the holes from the old lights.......... so I settled on 40-50 ford car interior lights.

Nice panel! How do you like the 2.47 gears? Mine is running a 2.75...not terribly fun in town but awesome for highway.

Those interior lights really go good in there. Nice size and I'm sure gives just the right amount of light.
That column plate you made turned out pretty good! I like it and I know what you mean. A real PITA to tear into it as Henry intended. |
Great looking panel, far better than my '59 shorty. Thanks for all the info. and great pics, very informative.

Just found your build thread. You can tell it is a labor of love for ya. Nice work. Paid particular close attention to the side interior panel, the way it went straight across at the b pillar instead of dipping. A new way for me to look into. Question Is your headliner one pc made with metal bows?

The interior was in the panel when I got it, the PO said his friend that did the work was a boat interior builder. It is one piece and looks to be bows, but I'm not sure on how they attached them to the sides. |
Been working on the Model A and just got the girlfriend a new car.....1960 Studebaker Lark Wagon, so now working on that too. I need to reseal the intake manifold as both ends are leaking. I did manage to replace the air filter with a regular size one and replaced the cooked oe starter with a mini unit from powermaster.
Now it sounds like an old Dodge when it starts. |
