Had to share. I've always liked these.
Here's my main project ;)
When the previous owner had it:
Radio in Glovebox
Lighting Upgrade - Harley Davidson LED lighting. Custom made laser cut brackets to hold them (stock buckets did not have enough mounting depth)
Hood repainted
Paint matched nicely:
In-Dash Audio using the original 1959 rotary knobs on the new electronic rotary encoders :)
New Wheels and Tires - custom made in 18x8 with 255/55-R18 modern radials. Incredible improvement to the ride and handling, yet enhancing the classic look. To get these on we had to actually trim the rear fender skirts, and even though I'd measured it up to make sure it would all fit, we didn't think about getting them in there. Had to unbolt the shock absorbers and drop the axle to mount the tires and then put the axle back in place. :rofl:
Worth it.
Fender skirt trimming. Rear door needs repainting.
