    I haven't seen it. Hell I don't get to see to many Hot Rod magazines. I will have to break away and stop in Book store I guess :)

  4. I'm digging it. A similar ride height I envisage for my 28 Tudor, except I'm going to channel the depth of the frame.

    Well, I welded the dash in the truck today. Then later in the evening my friend Big "C" came over and applied some thin coats of body filler to the dash to get it ready for paint. I am glad to have such good friends. Thanks Clarence for coming over and helping.:D

    I recessed it back and also altered the cowl lip to give it a cleaner look.

    Thanks I am trying like hell to get it done so I can drive it this season.

    Oh yeah before anyone ask me why there is a mount on one side and not the other , same as the cowl being cut on one side and not the other. It is because I had to make room for the driver side header .
