    I need pictures or different ideas of driveshaft tunnels and ****** humps for my A sedan.
     
  2. These are some old pictures when I started making the ****** hump for my channeled pickup. I didn't want to lose any more legroom than necessary, so I made a wire form out of welding rod to get a basic shape with about 1/2" clearance all around the transmission. Then I started making 16 gauge steel pieces that fit up tight to the wire form and tacking them together. It looked like some kind of Frankenstein creation at first, but after a lot of hammer and dolly work, it looked a little better. It fits pretty snug around the transmission. I left a little pocket of extra room on the p***enger side for the cooling lines and the dipstick.

    Here is one I built. I made cardboard templates, hand formed the bends over the radiused edge on my workbench, hammer formed the sharper bends by clamping a piece of angle iron and forming the steel over the edge.

    Oh and yes, those red spots are blood....:eek:

    Here is what Flower is just finishing today for her T-5 conversion in the roadster. She used 3/32" steel rod formed to a 1/2 angle iron base and paper templates to piece the covering together with 22 ga sheet. Some of these things have such weird shapes and angles it's about the only way we could think of to fabricate a tunnel/cover.

    Here's the floor we're forming for our 1933 Chevy. It's a pretty basic design so that we could fabricate it easily.

    Hard to beat the one with the blue dash!

    Only thing I'd have done was add some cool bead lines!

    or the top of a smoker/BBQ maybe too.

    That does look really good kevin!
    Sorry to hijack, but do you have any more shots or the pedals and linkage without/under the floor? , Im building a model T and using the same trans. also I like that s**** pedal. what brand is it, where did you find it? I like it cause Im limited on space.

    here's what I did on mine. I made templates outta chipboard (thin cardboard) and had them cut and flanges bent at the s****yard really inexpensively
