At the age of 73 I purchased a X- DRAG CAR(65 Biscayne). Altho I can no longer do all the work by myself I still love to go to the garage & do what I can.
I installed 350 W/A 4 SPD. I installed a 59 dash, dropped spindles, cut 1 coil off all 4 springs, replaced the rusted out frame , installed T-bird seats & painted it my favorite color(next to blk).
Hi to all my old friends.......Don
Way to go! 65-68 Biscaynes are near and dear to my heart. Love what you are doing with it. I am looking for a 59 dash to put in my 54 Studebaker wagon, they are also among my favorites. Keep us posted and let's see it on the road!
Pat
Nice car Don, and that dash gives it a really unique look!!!! Very well done.
I think Pat is probably remembering an old drag car!!!!!!
Hi Don, very nice job so far on the Chevy and I too like the dash in it. I gotta remind you, the speedo may read 73 but the engine is still running at 8000 rpm happily. Oh we need more photo's of the beast to please.
Yes the dash dose look great in there
Good to see ya again Don....
Like that dash, looks right in there. So, what color you going to use for the stripe(s) to separate the two tone?
Biscaynes nice and light, good drag cars keep the photos coming. Building cars like that keeps you in the right frame of mind.
Hi Bob......I am trying to decide on a separation strip color. I am thinking a dark red.
Any sugestions.
It's good to talk to you & Dave again.
Don
I'm thinking black would be the best contrast and dark red would be more subtle. BTW, beautiful car.
I'm with Ken on the stripe color. Black is an easy choice, though Burgundy would work well too and be a little richer looking. It depends a little on interior color.
Black stripe for sure.
.
I like it as it is Don! Maybe take a little black electrical tape and tape off a small space and then send another photo on here. My imagination never is as good as a mockup! Nice car too by the way!
Outstanding Don! Don't know what I like most: The car or the fact that you're 73 years young and still turning some wrench. You're an inspiration to us all!!
Great Job Don. Keep the pictures coming
Regards,
Glenn
Don, I've followed your escapades since the early Rolls Royce days and consider you to be a master fabricator. Nice work my friend.

Hi tech, yep we have had quite a few conversations thru out the years.
I have enjoyed your wealth of knowledge.
Your friend Don
