Some of you may recognize Paul Bos' '34 Ford coupe. Paul built this classic-style hot rod over 20 years ago and he recently decided to have Rod Builders give it a little "lifestyle lift" before he hits his retirement full stride and takes up cruising the blue highways again. He picked out this really cool vintage-style radio from the the Early Ford Store in California and a vintage racing-style steering column and drop. Dustin and Eric worked together on the dash. First Eric cut, expanded and re-filled the fiberglass dash to accommodate the new radio and gauge bezel. Dustin took over from there sanding, painting and blending it all to perfection. Paul had always wanted to have chrome windshield trim. We ordered a reproduction frame and Dustin chopped it the 3 1/2 inches. We'll have it chromed here soon and I'll post a picture. While it was here Paul had everything given the once over along with some other repairs and updates.
(Paul's actual to-do list.) The guys were able to do everything Paul wanted and they did a superb job. This "real" hot rod is better than ever.Thanks for letting us work on your baby, Paul.Paul and Sallie's '34 coupe in the Dec. Goodguy's Gazette.
Hey, there's that beautiful 23-window VW van The Skirt feel in love with last year pictured in the upper right corner.
