Hey ZZ , with the legs on that gas tank, you think it will still fit in the car?

Nice work on the tank! You make that look way too easy... Where's the tank going to be mounted?

Search 1934 Cadillac in the builds section.
Good one [cl[clHey ZZ , with the legs on that gas tank, you think it will still fit in the car?
It'll mount directly under all the junk in the trunk, inside the frame rails.

The dash on this car had been gutted so rather than tracking down all the original parts and trim, I cut it out completely and started fresh. I wanted to make something different and give it more "Packardness", so I made a small center grille frame with a distinctive Packard profile and started building the dash from there. The side panels will be removable for access and I plan to finish it off with a stainless grille insert. Once I get some seats mounted, I may also make a small console to tie into it

Many fabricators need a designer. Many designers need a fabricator. You do it all, beautifully.

He recycles the right way
I like the dash idea. The Lincoln Zephyr waterfall is one of my favorites. This has a whole lot of that in it, but tweaked to a Packard [cl[cl[cl

Yeah, I had the Zephyr dash in mind when this design came to me while lounging under a palm tree in Az this winter....
Got the original glove box lid and surround grafted into the dash. I was going to fill in the clock delete plate and trim but now that I see it on there, I think I'll keep it - sort of a blending of original and new.
Now I need to get some stainless stock and make the grille for it.

He's not done yet...
Looks amazing as usual!
Not to criticize any ones work..... especially some one who has far better/more skills than I could ever dream to, but.... and I am sure this is some sort of optical illusion...... but the center of the dash, is it lower on the right side than the left??
