Valve Cover Dashboard for my bucket

Very creative, would be especially neat if you ran Straight 8 Buick power in the T bucket.

 

I like , i love it , i want some more of it!!! j/k its a nice dash. I love it when people come up with creative things like that.

 

Dude, you're so outside the box, you're on another planet! THAT is TOO FREAKIN" COOL!

 

incredible creativity and ingenuity... two thumbs up! always cool to be the first one to do something like this

 

The thought has crossed my mind

 

man! that is awesome, very creative!!!!

 

I'm going to watch for one of them long valve covers for future use, great adaptation.

 

They do pop up on eBay from time to time, the one I used is from a 320 however I don't think they are different. I got my last one for $15

 

the 320 valve cover is bigger than the 248 263 straight eights i bet one of the big truck international harvester 6 cylinder valve covers would work to , they were big in size also

 

Good to know, thanks for the reply.

 

Ken, this could only come from your mind. Nice work. Now, come help me finish my bucket!

 

I like your crative thinking / outside the box !!!

now lose that big ugle key column, maybe a chrome or s/s tube instead or I can send you a 40 ford column I got hanging around.

Very clever. Your valve cover idea remines my of another idea I thought was cool, an oil pan for a trans. hump/cover. The shifter was sticking up through the pan.

 

Great idea! I'm going to buy up all the straight 8 valve covers for cheep and sell them for ridiculous in a couple of years! (Just kidding.)

I hope you don't mind if me and many others put copy cat "Schafer Dashes" in our cars.

 

I agree, I hate the column just not in the budget just yet - need to have something to do in the future though

I absolutely don't mind, I can't wait to see what others come up with!

 

How about filling that oil fill, adding a centered hole in that section for a clock and making a glovebox lid there?

 

I'm sure this isn't going to be my last iteration as a glove box has already crossed my mind. This was attempt one, and for the cost no reason not to keep trying

 

Thats neat

 

THAT is NUTS. COOL. Very creative.
Found this shot from last year at a show in NJ. Slim

 

This is what I meant to send. Slim

 

Nice pic, I posted the one in my '52 a few posts up. That one looks like one of the smaller one's but I don't know the dimension differences.

 

Sweeeeeet!
