    The last two months I've been working on the dash of I have not got a lot of time working on it so I was not able to finish it as timely as I wanted.

    I like what you did with your dash. Added some symmetry. Bill

    We were able to put the correct front end under the car and were able to almost complete the transmission mount.

    How many of the old timers remember the "Vultures" Tall T build for the HAMB drags?

    We were able to get the grill insert chopped 3in and we were able to get the body into epoxy primer. This project has been a school project and we just had an exhibition night and I was able to bring the car to the exhibition night last night. 20260411_154740.jpg 20260411_202013.jpg 20260411_202907.jpg 20260420_171109.jpg 20260421_192303.jpg 20260421_192246.jpg 20260421_193659.jpg 20260421_203642.jpg 20260421_213707.jpg 20260422_152959.jpg 20260422_152931.jpg 20260422_152848.jpg 20260422_211127.jpg

    This past month I was able to get the gauges in the dash and we were also able to put a Corvair steering box into the frame.

    The dash looks awesome. I like to see old gauges instead of whatever is on sale at Summit or Speedway. Yours look familiar- what did they come from?

    Also glad to see you chopped the grille to align it with the cowl. :cool:

    Nice welding on the crossmember too.

    Keep up the great work!

    Awesome build Ive missed up to today. So much to like and great to see a young fella getting it done. Like the others I really like that dash, not seen that done before!

    You’re building it almost exactly how I would, that’s to say, I’m a fan. Subscribed!
