Hot Rods BENNETTS ‘Pacific-Indian Special’ ‘29 Roadster on ‘32 rails

  1. Bit more of a play around with the dash trying to figure out how to get it sitting in the right spot, right angle, and at the right height. I’m trying to utilize the top dash rail piece to the windshield will still seal at the bottom. I’ll be scratching my head with the corners.

  3. Still stumped of the dash. It sits low, and my knee are high. I want to section the top and get rid of the bulge. I’ll sleep on it and come back fresh in the morning… IMG_3317.jpeg

    Deeper inset to clear your knees if the fuel tank is trimmed out ?

    Difficult to tell by the photos for sure, & shameful to cut that dash but there appears to be 2" or so between the bulge area & the so-called glove box area on either side of the center cluster that could be trimmed & moved up with the glove box still functional yet providing the kneeeed room ! At first glance the modification may even be unnoticed & could save a good percentage of the patina if so inclined, just a fleeting thought.

  9. I actually tapped this out to see. About an 1 1/2” id get- probably worth it!
