1938 Chevy Project

Tom Sewell of Cambria, CA built this beautiful interior. Check out the speaker grill. The rear seat is original and everything is covered with a nice blue-grey tweed. I was able to find a carpet that matched exactly!

Tom has incorporated the outside body lines into the door and quarter panels providing arm rests and locations for the BMW power window switches. Notice the reliefs mimicking the outside belt mouldings.

Here is a shot of the front seat and dash area. We chose a nice metallic grey to complement the exterior color for dash and beauty rings. The front speakers are hidden behind grills in the kick panels. We installed a modified Corvette tilt/tele column, LaCarra "mark 10" steering wheel, Rod-Tech glove box door & guage panel, Lokar pedals.... Yes, that is an original radio dial installed above the ash tray in a beautiful aluminum panel we constructed. The front seat is by Glide Engineering, seat belts from Juliano's hot rod shop, guages are VDO "Cockpit Royal"...

The all ALPINE stereo system includes the MRV-F352 5 channel amp, 10" VR Series subwoofer, 2 sets of DDC-F17A componant 2 way speaker systems, an ERE-G180 passive 11-band equalizer, CHA-S614 6 disk remote CD changer and the TDA-7564 AM/FM Cassette Receiver. It sounds very nice indeed. The battery is hidden behind a panel on the left. We put switched vanity lights in the roof of the trunk to ease installing CDs etc.

Here she is. The car sure sits right and drives like a dream on those Wheel Vintiques smoothies and Eagle GT radials. Bumpers by Britz, stainless from I & I Reproductions, Glasurit 55-line paint sprayed by Jack (my old business partner).

Here is another picture taken of her included to show off the ghost flames

Here is another nice detail showing off the ghost flames in the setting sun's highlight.

Here is a rear end view of this baby. Note the smoothe reflections and lines on her... Jack did a most excellent job of restoring this body and applying the paint and graphics.
