REAR END THIRD MEMBER

GOT THE BACKING PLATES

The Wilson backing plates arrived so we can get the front end completed. I also grabbed my leftover '65 Riviera rear backing plates while I was in Austin for the Round Up. We're going to reuse them on the 9" rear. Next step will be to get all the backing plates set-up so the car can roll out of the garage. We'll be able to stand back from the car and make sure we're happy with the stance and ride height before the rear suspension is fabricated. Then it's on to the floors, pedal placement and getting the Seller's Equipped Hallock windshield installed. I'll post progess shots soon.

OL SKOOL' WHEELS IN CUSTOM SIZES

Just found a company that can make original style steelies in modern sizes. Not everyone's cup of tea, but worth knowing about:

BRAKING NEWS

Got a pair of front finned aluminum backing plates on order from Bob Wilson. Progress is forthcoming.

Photo is not my car. But it gives you the basic idea.

DASH AND GAUGE PLACEMENT

Playing with placement of my gauges on my Brookville dash panel. After pushing the gauges all over the place, I think I've arrived at a sweet placement. Of course, nothing is set in stone yet, but I think I've got an interesting layout here.
