WWII Vintage Aircraft Parts

[Thunder1]

Ever since I saw the "Backseat Betty" 32 coupe in a few magazines last year I got really interested in vintage aircraft parts for whatever reason? I guess it's the history behind the planes and the impact of the returning WWII GI's in the early days of the hot rod.

I thought you guys might like to look through this site. There's some cool stuff! I really like all the old Stewart-Warner gauges, and other instruments and controls this guy has for sale. I actually bought a recognition light control panel from a B-17 or B-24 bomber that I'm going to convert to use in my 51 f1. It'll house the Ignition power switch, light switch, and aux.fan switch.

I hope you enjoy the site,

I've been needing a wind speed indicator! LOL.

This is a pic of one of my all time favorite steering wheels. Said it came from an F100 Super Sabre Fighter Jet - so he put it in his 1964 F100.

Rest of the truck can be seen here:

Glad you guys liked it. It's unusual not to like airplane parts if your a hot rod guy!
