Don't worry its all being noted and i will get you and Don back later

I want one BAD !!!!!!!! That all looks so clean, Steve. The steering column in my 27 is a little longer than I would like (asthetically) but it had to be where it is for comfort and knee room. Anytime you put 10 pounds of something in a 5 pound bag you have to make adjustments to be usable.

Don

Don i just sat in the car and put it where it feels right, Having an uncomfortable steering column is a real pain.

Heck Steve,have you finally ran out of stainless in your bottomless scrape bin???Not like you not to use stainless,oh yeah,that's right,this is a quick put together car like they did in the old days. I shall not mention your legs as I wish to remain on your xmas card list,but I like how you are sitting back into the car,reminds me of that movie "Hot Rod". That is where a driver should be sitting in a gasser Willy's.

Whip what are you referring to mate, its all stainless ???

I had to lean forward to see out the door glass of my panel truck. People usta' say it looked like there wasn't anybody driving it when I'd cruise around. Engine was set back 12" so, everything else was too.

The Willys is gonna' B cool.

Don't let them razz you about them knees, Steve. They were good enough to score a cutie like Sue !

Don

You old sweet talker !!!

Thanks mate, I have a good feeling about this car.

Oh wait, I just noticed I did not finish my earlier sentence!! It should have read, "...provided you can see the column and wheel past the glare of that bright white fiberglass Willy's body." Is that better??

No back peddling Roger, its all being noted

I bit the bullet last night and decided to go with the 3.3/8" Quad gauges, The 5" were just to big to fit.








Also drilled some holes for warning lights, I've had these lights for about 25 years after i took them out of a scrap airplane, they are all stainless construction and real nice, haven't used them as they are a bit bigger than normal ones, I think they look ok in this dash though.

I love using different looking things like those lights. So much cooler than 1-800 versions. Do you have a target date yet in mind for getting your gasser running? It looks like you are moving along quite well.

Don

Yeah as you know Don i prefer made over bought, it gives the car an air of personality i reckon.
I may be asking a lot of myself but would like to get it fired for our Hotrod drags in September, I'm not sure i can make it though as i have purchased a performance enhancer which is still in California at the moment

Nice choices
