2007 Del Mar Goodguys, my dashboard fascination is fed with manna
0 comments Posted by st at 10:11 AMThis dash is a beaut, might be bakelight, maybe plastic, but a sweet simple design, look at the temp buttons below the radio... heater controls? Just great design all around, speedo to radio aspect, color combo... all of it.

This is from the sweetest Imperial there, very high dollar mods, but the hood and trunk were up, and it would have been a lousy picture of the exterior, next time.... notice the leather wrap on the steering wheel, which ia a perfect styled design, and the HUGE speedo, and realize it's nearly 1/2 as big as the wheel... must be about 10 inch diameter... push button trans too, and leather dash. A pic of the exterior can be seen at http://www.moparmax.com/events/2007/ii_4-dm-4.html
This Lincoln dash is terrific, easy but small guages, and I think the style of the small zeros in the speedo is cool, they aren't needed, and save space by making them 1/3rd the size of the numbers. Just above the steering column are the temp and air controls, almost un-noticeable and not cluttering up the area under the radio.
I think this is from a Merc, dual small ashtrays to match and accentuate the symmetry of the design of the speaker grill and speedo/clock design. Almost elegant. I'd give a 12 pack to know what is going on with the dual radio faces, the left appears to be signal strength, and the right is tuning, but I've never seen one like this before. A 30's woody maybe.
Another Imperial, and dig the 150 speedo, and the shifter next to the radio.... R N D L.

0 comments Posted by st at 9:58 AMCheck the license plate, and the carefully tucked exhaust, right between the right bumper and the rear tire, nice

A welders car I think, and I can't tell if it's the clutch or brake pedal, but, "Ho down" is imaginative!

This 56 Ford has been chopped 4", sectioned 10", and shortened 18". Tom Pagano must enjoy this immensely, he was awarded the "Texaco Havoline Pick" for the 650HP Ford Cobra powered beaut.

the pinstriping along the side vents is a cool touch, nice way to accentuate the white top and sidewalls, I haven't seen this affect anywhere before
The checkerboard under the hood is very cool, and is even on the firewall behind the block
This is Henry and Mary Ann Rossi's "M&H Special", has a 410 inch motor, and gets my award for best 32 of the show.
Some very excellant detail work, the grilled vent on the sides of the hood to clearance some engine parts, great paint scallops, and the drivers side trunk bulge reminisent of the SS Corvettes, unique.

Found more about this in volume one, issue 1 of The World of Rods magazine, page 16. Constructed by Hot Rods and Custom Stuff of Escondido 1 800 hot rod5 , owned by Mike Richards of Escondido. The engine is from a 57 T-bird, and looks like its supercharged to me, but the magazine writer didn't mention that.... odd, that's a cool feature!
http://www.hotrodscustomstuff.com/ is the website... and is full of cool stuff, like legislative alerts, galleries of the cars they've put out, and a page of all the magazine cars (a mean lots!) they've had featured.
