Initially (traditionalist thinking?), the speedometer on the column seemed wrong, but the brass cup hose clamped to the brass column looked spot on. I'm glad I don't go to roadster shows anymore to see the trailer queens who never get driven. This brings me back to the days (in my old rusty 66 Chevelle) when I used what I could find! Good to see your mini-me too!
You were right on with no sending unit for the Stewart Warner gage I did the same thing recently. Like you said for what they charge for those things . Really? Thanks Stewart Warner you cheap skates.
Really lovin the cup speedo mount. But l'd go with electronic speedo so you can hide the wire in the handle and route it thru the column. Also check out Autometer Antique Biege gauges (they come with senders).
I really liked the upholstered gauge pannel. It's a real classy custom touch that perfectly goes with the interior. I wasn't prepared for the speedometer install despite your initial introduction. Man 'O man was that idea great! As always, can't wait for your next video.
I reciently saw a 60s styled 32 Show Car...had a simulated mother pearl for the gage cluster...a laminated piece glued to a metal substrate....was the cats ass! Would suit your style and colors
Loving the upholstery theme! For a voltmeter I used a voltage indicator LED. It changes colour from red 10-12V to green 13.5V and above indicating your charging status. I used dual temp gauges with my Flathead so i had no room in the gauge panel. I just drilled a hole and installed like a jewel light now I can tell what my system voltage is by the colour. There not too expensive off eBay Gammatronix 5mm LED 12v Battery level / Alternator Charge monitor indicator
I have had fast cars before and slow cars before. And a lot of the older guys would tell me "It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow" But I can see you blasting gears and rubber in an old Pontiac Tempest or Buick skylark{my personal fave} or some other old early sixties muscle car. I can also see Lux in a couple more years, in his car-seat. yelling "SHIFT" at the top of his lungs!😃
What a crock of shit. Who would expect to have to read all the specifications (clear to the bottom), for a product, before you purchase it. Especially up until now the sending unit always came with the gauge. I don't know but I wonder if Moon or Auto Meter does the same damn thing. I am glad I can't afford new gauges because unlike you I live in the states so I have better access. I would still be very pissed of. I guess companies think we are well to do. That is my rant. Sorry that happened.
I, too, own a ‘32 and have pondered fabricating a door to go under the tunnel that goes from the dash to the gauges. I’m thinking a piano hinge forward with a hardware store latch back by the gauges. You could mount a fuse panel there or a couple switches. Whatever. You do it and I’ll take notes 😅
Looks great Lee , doesn’t make any sense that a sensor doesn’t come with the gauge. Years ago I bought a Milwaukee port a band and they don’t come with a blade. I thought that someone f’d up but sure enough written on the box “blade not included “ 🤪
Love your dash!!! Looks FANTASTIC! Thanks for not cutting up a perfect "Henry" dash! On the "CUP" leave the handle as-is... Put vinyl over the radiator clamp. Run wires thru copper/brass tube on collum. What a conversation piece! Everyone will say "HEY! Look at THIS!"
I stand corrected... The '32 is the most beautiful body style ever (IMHO). But only one year? Maybe the thought was "How can you beat this? Let's let it be unique and move on with a new body in '34". I had missed the dash repair vid, awesome repair job! Henery... Opps, I mean Edsel would be proud!
I love the cup for speedo that is epic. SW started that years ago saying there was to many combinations of senders (bs) awesome video very cool 🛠️🇨🇦🛠️🇨🇦
@@LGKustoms they use to put in 1/8 not and a bushing 1/8 to 1/4. Then took them out. BECAUSE the sender was faulty so they took them out. Made it separate so you could send the sender back only. I agree it sucks but they don’t care. It was way better when you could buy a COMPLETE gauge
Guage panel looks great. Yeah that no sender nonsense is ridiculous. I suspect it’s due to shrinkflation, just not include the sender and keep the price the same?🤷♂️ I’m with you on the electronic senders, easier install and to keep neat and tucked in.
@@LGKustoms I don’t think they want to price these gauges at $100 so they pulled the senders to be sold separately. It’s like the bag of Oreos staying the same price but 50 grams lighter. They are nice looking gauges though. Stewart Warner used to be made in Peterborough Ontario they still had a plant there in the 90s / early 2000s. I don’t know if they are one of the companies bought up by Holley. If they are it makes sense, a lot of weird stuff has been going on with the companies they bought up like Mallory ignition part numbers are now MSD products etc.
Love the speedometer fabrication. Now that's custom 👍💯😎
Ingenious idea with the Speedo Mod Pod Lee, Love watching you shows....Have a great weekend :-)
Thanks, you too!
That speed pod idea is very cool
Love the cup trick. Thanks for sharing
Man o Man, really nailing it with the gauges and speedo pod, the upholstered touch is coming together, can't wait for the full interior.
One piece at a time!
Nice , I like it .

Love the cup idea! Works great!

Dude!!! great video!!! The coffee cup tach holder is boss!!!✌️
I really like the speedo mount great job
Dude, its looking really fine!
The speedometer is great!
Very very very nice. 60s eat your harts out!
Looking real cool ..... love it !!

I just found out that your 32 Ford was my buddy's car from tilsonburg his name is Dale he's originally from Texas
Yup! This is his old car! If you see him, say hi!
I have had fast cars before and slow cars before. And a lot of the older guys would tell me "It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow" But I can see you blasting gears and rubber in an old Pontiac Tempest or Buick skylark{my personal fave} or some other old early sixties muscle car.

Haha I’m not really a muscle car guy. But those would be great drivetrain donors for a hot rod!

Nice job Lee 👍 I got ripped off with the gauge game myself 😤 know the feeling
Super lame!
I, too, own a ‘32 and have pondered fabricating a door to go under the tunnel that goes from the dash to the gauges. I’m thinking a piano hinge forward with a hardware store latch back by the gauges. You could mount a fuse panel there or a couple switches. Whatever. You do it and I’ll take notes 😅
I’ll probably just mount the fuse panel on the firewall where it’s easy to access
Looks great Lee , doesn’t make any sense that a sensor doesn’t come with the gauge. Years ago I bought a Milwaukee port a band and they don’t come with a blade. I thought that someone f’d up but sure enough written on the box “blade not included “ 🤪
I grew up in the generation of “batteries not included” and had many disappointing Christmas mornings haha
The gauge panel looks great, but how about 1 rivet right below the center gauge for continuity?
Like to match the center screw on the top of the dash?
Looks super smart Lee! That gauge cluster could maybe use a copper rivet at each end of the panel to further tie it all together?
Someone else mentioned that too
...thanks Lee...now I want a Moscow Mule.......
You deserve one!
came together very well! Do you have a vidya on wrapping the wheel?
No, that wrap was likely put on that wheel before my mother was born.
Love your dash!!! Looks FANTASTIC! Thanks for not cutting up a perfect "Henry" dash! On the "CUP" leave the handle as-is... Put vinyl over the radiator clamp. Run wires thru copper/brass tube on collum. What a conversation piece! Everyone will say "HEY! Look at THIS!"
Thanks. The 32 Ford is actually an Edsel Ford design, not Henry. If it was up to Henry, we’d still be driving black Model T’s.

Paint the st. Wheel center to match the instr. Panel
It’ll happen in time!
nice to see someone else thinks like me why is every think sold separte ?
Super annoying. I just installed a set of SW gauges around this time last year, and they definitely came with senders.
I love the cup for speedo that is epic. SW started that years ago saying there was to many combinations of senders (bs) awesome video very cool 🛠️🇨🇦🛠️🇨🇦
That is BS. The sender should match the gauge, what are they talking about too many combinations haha.

Must be a new thing. I just put a set of SW gauges in that blue 33 ford pickup around a year ago. They came with sending units.

Never cease to amaze ! This thing is going in all the right directions ! The dash looks like new.
Thanks!
Very nice dash with the upholstery , but not near as cool as the Speedo Can , 🫵🏼💯🆒👍👍
hi lee it was great to see you again at the swap meet and to meet shannon and lux also love the dash.
Great seeing you too!
