Leanna, I was keeping the real bling for a "Leanna/ PSC is fabulous" thread.

Really guys/gals Leanna is the tops for making all your cruddy, crappy parts look like a million dollars wrapped in a thong!!!!!!

 

[65BCODA]

I even managed to get a little intoxicated and decided to install some snout bars, just for the heck of it.

 

[fstfish66]

[65BCODA]

loooks great,,,what is the round disc with the stud at the top frame rail for ??

That sir, is a magnetic ground for the welder, the center stud is loaded with a spring and makes contact with the piece to create a ground, the negative lead clips onto the stud.

 

[fstfish66]

[Young Gun Smith]

[65BCODA]

On my way back out on the road headed North on I-75 couldn't help stopping in at Summit. I knew it was not a good idea.................................ended up with a set of Auto Meter Cobalt gauges.
I had already shortened up the right hand side of a '66 gauge cluster and modified the dash to fit.Smoothed over the speaker vent,ashtray and radio opening.To be painted body color.
The enviromental control cut out will be covered with an extra chrome glovebox trim that will house the oil pressure/water temp warning lights, shift light will be mounted in the hole between the tach and speedo.

 

[jysnflem]

What M/T SR radial tire size are you running on the back and what rim width. Car looks great. Jayson
