Re: A '54 named Busty
those turned out nice
i'll 2nd the online seat cover thing. call katskinz and i bet they can help you. if not, there are a TON of places who probably can. they are proper upholstery, not just covers. |

Re: A '54 named Busty
just having some coffee this morning and trying out different steering wheel ideas, wish this came in a three spoke, maybe I'll shoot it over to Robert's Ding Performance garage in Tehjas for a few mods

Re: A '54 named Busty
Engine harness looks good, but I'm not sure that steering wheel could be improved on.

Re: A '54 named Busty
do you guys know the sayin': "Chrome won't get you home, but..."
I just had to paint this thing black since it was too shinny, and shinny things make me nervous Last edited by Gregski; 05-06-2021 at 11:28 PM. |

Re: A '54 named Busty
The painted ECU looks great. I should have done the same. Mine looks a lot like the one you stared with.

Re: A '54 named Busty
thanks, not sure what it will do in terms of the heat, I think that's why they don't paint them in the first place so it acts as a heat sink, so you can justify not painting yours that way
