[JohnnyC]

what is this (i know what it is !) and what kind of US car it come from ?

locking gas cap

from 1930's era ... possibly a Cadillac? it would be a higher end vehicle

 

[destin]

surf in turf in November 2011?

Yeah that would be super fun

Which color code are you looking for btw?

Dash

That dash is interesting (I've had both 62' and 63') no FD button, light, or range shifter AND no throttle cable? Makes a smooth looking dash. (there are extra control "holes" in line with lights/choke/wiper buttons) I was actually thinking of doing just this on my franken-cruiser I'm putting together with an new early dash.

i've only 2 buttons, "wipe" and light" ....are this holes original ? (seem yes when i watch them)
i'll need in the futur, the other buttons..so if you know where to find them ,i'll really appreciate ..

 

[My wife said no FJ!]

You know your rig best....do you have any evidence of any original paint on the rig? Does it look like it has been painted over? Or is what we are looking at what you would consider to be the original paint?

 

[Dunkane]

difficult, exterior paint seems been repaint (maybe same color), was the interior paint the same than exterior ? (i think yes), so my cruiser 'll be a kind of grey...
i'll take better pictures soon and you 'll give me your idea...

Dunkane I be coming over May 15 if there is any thing I can bring to save on shipping let me know. Jen and I will look you up for a beer also

yes of course, if you cand find the dashboard switches (except light and wipers), i'll be happy
i need also the turn signal and tail lights (oem) for my 64...

tell me if you can find that, i'll pay you in paris + a beer

 

[Dunkane]
