āBack at it again, today I hooked up the radio head cables to the underdash control box. Originally in the Wes Collins car the control box was hooked to the radio head that is mounted to the control head that is in the middle of the dash then they possibly added the one above the column in about 1949.

āMounted the seat today on tracks you can see in the photos how far the seat moves and the handle I fabricated. Thanks to Dave @martinez_industries_co for recommending an adjustable seat instead of stationary.

āInstalled the firewall insulator it was very shiney pvc so I dulled it out with steel wool to give it an older feel.ā

āLooks so much better with the glass in the windshield frame I fabricated that contrasts with the @martinez_industries_co padded top and bare metal.ā

Iāve been wondering if green laminate would look good in a 30s screen…. looks like Iāll be making some templates soon.

āSo the axle I used is a 1932 Ford heavy because its probably the most perfect axle ever made by Ford snd I had it in stock. I cleaned and brush painted it like the old days with of course @kbscoatings its all I use. The car now in the front is up where it should be and now I will reverse eye and flatten the spring a bit and finally the correct stance.

āThe Wes Collins tribute roadster is officially in the motor boat stance after installing the final axle and I reverse eyed the main leaf.ā
