1st build, 1933 olds rat

[CORPO]

great work on the floor, I was thinking about doing the auto shifter with my old ebrake handle as well... but then I was also thinking I wanted to use it for the e brake! haha I definitely want a positive lock in the gears.. that much i know...

sorry to hear you missed your deadline, but sounds like you will be in the ball park of your goal.. i missed mine a long time ago.. oh well..

You need to make me one of those shifters.

That floor is sharp.

If we didn't lie to ourselves about how long it would take, we wouldn't start 'em.

Great job on the shifter, gives me ideas!

 

[deerchooper]

thanks guys. the shifter does have a postive lock in all gears both ways, lol.

i have to set a dead line, if i dont i will drag it out forever. nothing wrong with that but i get a little slacked and just say screw it. i redid my bathroom last summer, i still havent finished the trim. my wife knows not to bug me with it now because the rat comes first, lol.


any how look below and give me your input.

what do you think?

do they seam a little high to you?

i still have to add the doflicky to the bottom of them/ stands so that will push them up some more.

 

[deerchooper]

the more i look at it online it has that sinsiter skull look to it.

You need to make me one of those shifters.

do you have a good core right now? i wouldnt mind doing one for you.

My $.02 says they are to high as in stock looking height. I say take 3" out of the stantions so the center of the light is even with the top of your tire. [

Low lights=hot rod.

I'm with them, lower. I love the car, looks great! I gotta keep reading stuff like this so that I know it's possible to finish them. I gave myself a year to get mine done, I'm a month into it and haven't even gotten her out of the trees yet. Can't wait to hear that you're done!

 

[nos487]

Here it is with light lowered, I think it looks better. Wish I could photoshop.

 

[jfg455]

I can't photoshop either but that looks just right! Fire up the sawzall!![

Yeah, they look good lowered. Get rid of the fuzzy eyebrows though.

 

[nos487]

You could wax the eyebrows but I heard it hurts like hell.

 

[deerchooper]

well i cut and lowered the stands. i bought some different head lights as well. got them mounted, but have a huge problem with the way it looks to me, it looks as though one is higher. but no matter how i measure the numbers match.

pics tomorrow
