Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Thanks for the kind words. I know the headrests don't quite fit in, but my neck likes them vey good...
Here are some interior photos. Dash, pedals, gear stick, steering wheel front screen & more is home made. The fabric is bycast leather bought for cheap on Ebay. The seats was originally light brown, but I dyed them to fit the rest of the interior. Probably not everyones style, but I wanted something different.

I'm liking that stick. Is it a converted blade or did you make it special for your Ride? I"m running a 44 mag cylinder as my knob on the '62.

The stick is home made. The button is because the T56 transmission has an electric operated reverse lock.

Congrats. I recall all the work you were doing..........what?.............a decade or so back when you were working out the chassis stuff. Good to see it rollin' down the road.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Yes. I started in 2002.
By the way, I'm having trouble with exhaust smell when I drive. I think it's turbulence from behind the car that takes the exhaust forward. I have removed the Supertrapp caps. That helped some, but not enough. Made some turndown ends this morning, but haven't tested them yet. If they work well, I'll probably make a nicer pair in stainless steel.
Other suggestions?

only thing I could suggest is to put the tips where you get a draft from the movement of the car and that should send it where it belongs - - - I can see how you could be forming a pocket for those fumes to dance around in - - - also check to see if there's any leaks up front that might be doing that.
