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

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.

 

just love the colours

 

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…

 

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

 

Shorten up your legs.... then you don't have to raise all the equipment in your shop you sasquatch!

 

I never looked at this way! Seems easier! Hahaha

 

I’m trying to use the factory tank! If I can

 

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.

 

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

 

A lot more trimming, sectioning and hammering later I got one side done. Starting to like the profile it’s taking. Lots more to go.
Also can anyone identity the luggage rack? Dodge? thinking for making it removable to long trips. I want to fold it maybe something with a double hinge you’d see on a cabinet. But keep it too the era.

 

Just caught the sliced up dash! Fuck that rules good job!

 

Thanks Tim!

 

Saw the video on your Youtube channel. A lot of work but it looks great!

 

Nice fit on the dash panel, unique for sure !

 

Takes a real man to cut one up!

 

Definitely was and still more to go but we will get there!

 

Thank you sir

 

Hahah. Risk the brisket! Got the reward
