Thanks, here it is with the Hub.

 

Super excited for the knobs and steering wheel . I am super jealous of your column I looked for an automatic for a long time for mine. I want to see how the pearlized knobs turn out because I wanted to do the white ones for mine.

Lol, thanks man. Your the first person to notice the auto column. It has a 55 fordomatic under it.

 

Eric how do you get your legs under the steering wheel, looks like it's awful close to the seat. Did you change the keyed hub for the splined one and what was involved in doing so?

 

Lol, I think that is an illusion. Yes we changed the hubs. We destroyed an old Ford wheel and removed the hub from the centre. We then set the Lincoln wheel up on a CNC machine and bored the centre out to match the Ford size. We pressed it in and TIG welded it from the back side. This could be done on a Bridgeport as well by dropping an end mill down through the Lincoln wheel.

 

OK thanks, I remember you saying you had a plan to make it work out. Told ya it would be a piece a cake after all the other mods you've made up til now. Looks great...hope you make it to the show.

 

Thanks man.

 

Thanks for the nice Lincoln and bonus stickers T Dewitt.

 

The trunk is back on and almost done.

 

I also popped in some NOS lenses without blue dots. It looks a little cleaner I think?

 

As much as I like blue dots, I think you're right. Any plans to remove the top quarter seams to further smooth out the rear?

 

For sure, they will come off with the chop.

 

After the show right? Or are you that ambitious?

 

Lol, after for sure. I need to find a good top guy first as well.

 

I'm glad you got it I hope it works well.

Looks good!

 

Got a 49 chevy licence plate guard now comes the fun part shavin the trunk lid. Told ya you talked me into it lol

 

Getting the rear wrapped up.

 

I taped thisVictoria trim on to help imagine a 4" chop. The rear bow will require an extra 2" drop I think.

 

Looks great gonna be a killer with lowered roof!

 

Photochop by James Laga. Thanks

 

Thats going to be a sweet!
I hope you'll find the top guy asap

 

Looking fine Eric. I'll come and have a good look in Detroit in a few weeks.

I've got a Plymouth steering wheel that I'm thinking about running in my shoebox, I've been wondering about how to swap it in. You might have helped solve my problem.

 

Thanks guys. I'm looking forward to giving her a haircut after Detroit.

 

Look forward to seeing you there.
