    Out of curiosity, how 'readable' are the gauges to the extreme right on the dash? I realize the cabin/interior width isn't huge, and a vacuum gauge my not need constant monitoring while driving, but is a Detroit Lean required to view the gauges on the passenger's side while driving?

    No, the cab is small you can monitor everything. As a side note, I copied the gauge layout my dad did to this dash in the late 50’s. That’s how long this car has been in the family

    Looks tidy! I like the olds detail on the grill insert. Out of curiosity what’s the sleeved wires near the oil pan? And can I see how your running that brake line along the drivers side frame rail?

    thanks man, cars getting so close!
