The Co-op: It’s starting to look like a dash again……

As we all know, eggs must be broken for that omelet I’m waiting at Dixie Belle for breakfast and to install a MacDaddy dash it looks like thisThe component there on the seat is the next piece of the puzzle.  Mac depositions the steering column down at the dash face 1 1/2″ to put the steering wheel lower.

Here is the original upper column supportand now with Mac’s lowering kitLlowering the column really puts the steering wheel more useable and bringing it down makes room to install the main new dash basealready presided today will be connecting everything up…….stay tuned.

Ruby was let out of the gate for her first round trip around the parking lot…….we take small steps first.So many new parts and they seem to work!

Time is getting closer to the Talahassee rally…….thinks need to keep going well to get Ruby there….for sure stay tuned for this one!

Check out the pulled in, shaved and welded together bumpers with an embossed logo at the center.  Yes, the headlight bezel, Jenkins grill and bumper are painted glossed texture epoxy with the body satin epoxy texture.  The red is a nice touch

LED headlights and it’s front and rear air ride suspension slammed to the ground…..Yeah!…we hope to have this at the rally too……

The Coke “Gadabout” is in the housegetting it’s new dash AC system and Sanden compressor….it’s there on the floor next to the wheel liner

It too is slated to be at the rally, And check out the spare tire cover on this thing….. watch for it……..

Ok, breakfast down, in ready for the day…..and there’s a dash in my way…..tie a rope to my ankle, I’m going in…..see ya on the other side………
