I got it direct from Spiegler USA. Talked to a guy named Scott. It was about $330 + freight and bolted right on.  I'll try to get a good pic next time I get to ride.

Here is my current project. Shitload of work.

Nice! Street rod or restoration?

No kiddin' it's a lot of work. My father (78 yrs. old) is a retired bodyman...has a metric buttload of old/antique cars. His first attempt was a 1927 Falcon-Knight – Whippet body with a Knight sleeve-valve engine. Some friends and I found it in an old barn that we were tearing apart to get lumber to build a bar. It's currently in a museum in Elyria, OH where it was built.

Current collection includes: '32 Chevy Cabriolet, '38 Chevy Master Deluxe coupe (nothin' but problems), '58 Buick Roadmaster convertible, '56 Thunderbird, '64 Renault Dauphine, '74 Olds Cutlass Supreme (really nice),  and a '78 Cadillac Sedan de Ville. Their only relatively "modern" car is a shitty flexible-fuel Ford Taurus that just won't die. A number of years ago, they drove a 1932 Chevy Confederate Cabriolet on the Lincoln Highway Tour (Route 30). Illinois to New York to San Francisco and back to Illinois. They were the only ones to make the complete trip.

Good luck with the build!
