As always, nice job Tripp.... [cl [P

Thanks Sarge!

Lookin' good Tripper, really like the seat...are you having it upholstered or are you going to cover it yourself ?[P[P

Still can't decide but gonna get an estimate to have it done... that will be the deciding factor! My buddy has a really good & cheap guy he uses so we'll see!

Like everything about it. Seat frame looks cool. [cl

Thanks... can't wait to be in the driver's seat!!!

Just about have my steering sorted out. Since early cars were tight on foot space especially after a lil channeling... the ol Tripper's got a trick to get some extra space back for my clodhoppers! More on that next week! :D

I'll be in line for that information.
 
Here's how I gained a lil extra space for my feets! Ididit has a column you can cut to the size you need and then install a bearing at that point! I didn't cut the 3/4" DD shaft but put it through another bearing on the floor to the u-joint... then on to the steering box. I saved 3/4" or so on both sides... doesn't sound like much but it was just enough! I cleco'd that panel down & will weld it in tonight or tomorrow! Column is set at 35 degrees!

As said. Nice gauge panel. I have sold a few gauge panels to hot rodders from old boats I have scrapped. Usually SW panels that are machine turned.
