1934 Auburn build....my way

[hankthebigdog]

well fellas, I just wanted to share.
I got the fenders on the rear mounted tonight. It took me awhile because I had to chase all the threads on every nut mounted in the body for them. I had to modify only one and had to remove one broken off bolt. Not a lot, but progress. I had to spray a little primer on them to make me feel better.

Every time I see this ride I think about what it looked like when I was at your place last time. You've come a long way and it's looking great.

It's gonna be sweet!!!

Well my friend, it does look more like a car now. It was just a pile and a thought when you were here. I must also say, the old dodge sure has come a long way itself.

Thanks for the encouragement friend.

A little bit more on the little doll.

I finished the fender mounting today [I had ran out of fine thread bolt]. I worked on the aluminum dash panel this evening and got a lot accomplished [to me anyhow]. I fit the panel from a cardboard pattern and then cut and fit the new Intellitronix digital gauge panel in. This was a trial and error fit trying to do it with no one to help hold and look and fit. [Duck tape was my 2nd set of hands LOL] I finally decided where to place them and hacked away. I removed them before I got a pic, but they are a blacked out single panel. I am going to take it to a friend who likes to polish stuff and has some cool polishing tools. He also mentioned maybe doing some engine turning on it for me to break up the polished mirror look all the way across the dash. Who knows. I also got part of the sensors installed[oil sending unit and pulse generator on speed o cable connection] . I finished out the evening by adjusting the shifter cable that I had not completed. Some progress is better than none.
last pic is where I mounted the seat to make sure of the gauge visibility. Not too bad for the salvage specials.

Man, look at all the room in there! You could hold a ballroom dance...[cl

 

[hankthebigdog]

That's why I put a 500 caddy in it..........to make her feel like the luxury liner she is LOL.

That's a whole lot of dash panel! Really liking the keeping it clean thing you've got goin on...
Seats look like they were made for it.

I owe you an apology.... I completely spaced out the small wiring circuit that was in the Dodge. If you still want it, shoot me a PM with your address and
I'll get in the mail this week.

Stay after it, you're doing it up purty. [cl[cl[P[cl[cl

I have a giddy smile on my face like a teenage boy after his first date with the cheerleader. [cl[cl[cl[cl[cl [dr[dr
