Got the new wheel and tires on so I had to roll it out to take a look.

Got my gas tank mounted and did some other welding. I'm taking the next 3 days off to get more done.

Some Manheim auction locations won't park EVs inside for that reason. Pretty sad when you can't park your car in the garage.

I like this one. Don't remember where I saw/saved it.

Got the cowl firewall stuff done. Built a steering column too.

It was flopping around too much so I made it solid.

Yeah, I brazed it in that position.

What are y'all using? Before I tore the car down I made one out of an oil lamp bracket and a flask. I want to have one with wireless charging that doesn't look too out of place in a rat rod.

I made an adapter for my oil pressure gauge because for some reason Cadillac threaded it 7/16-14.

Figured out where to mount my radiator and found a lower hose that will work. I was a little worried about that. Bought some bias ply tires so I can ditch the radials. Redoing my trans Xmember now because I wasn't happy with my 1st attempt. There are a lot of things I've done 2 or 3 times on...

This guy has done it a few times.

I like the period correct ones and my rat rod leans that way but I don't have the scratch to do it like those guys do. I went with the Caddy flathead to be different and I just couldn't put a Ford engine in a Buick. I do want to switch to bias ply tires but those things aren't cheap. Holding off...

MRAP seats I got for $40.

Painting my headers today.

I like the expanded metal floor! :LOL:
