    Sorry if this is a repeat of info posted, what size are those rear tires?

    That stance has me drooling. Looks awesome!

    That's because your "Den of Iniquity" was one of my inspirations.:cool:

    I trimmed some welting to fit between the firewall, dash and cowl pieces.

    It took two hours to align and tighten Henry Ford's "Cowl Clamps from Hell": :mad::rolleyes:

    Kids' old soccer socks protect the steering column during installation.

    Stock top column clamp halves are both satin black, so they disappear.
    I gotta replace those modern TS & Flasher switches. Any ideas?o_O

    "Clear anodized aluminum" -colored powder coating looks a bit plastic-ish, but not bad.

    Nice detail, painting the boxed rail section black. One of those "Nobody will ever notice" details that true craftsmen apply to most things.

    The stick on welting is genius after I pulled mine apart and all that worn thin cardboard bs dropped out I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to replace it with. Good idea. As is the socks over the column.

    To contrast with the black interior, I pillaged my scrap bin for a white B&M shifter handle, a stainless steel fender washer and a Mooneyes hat pin.

    Seriously though, I had to tap & die every stud and threaded hole-- removing sanding dust and overspray that hadn't snuck up my nose or settled on stuff in the garage.

    It seems like you are really picking up speed on the little car. Do you plan on having it running this summer?

    Eddy, you need to drive your blue tudor over here and scare the neighbors.:D
    It'll be covered with stock-appearing black vinyl.:cool:
    Yeah- my budget got a N2O shot - I finished paying for two kids' college degree$ and wifey is working full-time.:)

    It'll be done September-ish, subject to interior.

    Was quicker and few mph faster then the A , Now the Angry Egg is jus a Green Egg,,
    The ""Filthy II"" is 50 cid smaller,close to same Hp , Bouncing the ideal to put the Jap straight 6 back in Filthy or the tall deck Brodix with SB2 heads close to 500 cid sbc

    Out back, '36 Ford taillights look simpler than A's & '32's.

    18 ga steel brackets.
    20240528_180041.jpg 20240531_180104.jpg

    Spare tire bolt holes are repurposed to attach the license plate bracket.
