Karens Kaiser

On Thursday January 17, 2013 I went to Phoenix AZ, to pick up the now completed 53 Kaiser from Hot Rods By Dean where we had left it after the Good Guys Scottsdale show in November for the hood to be repaired for 2 dents on each side of the hood caused from the radiator support. Dean cut down the support, straightened the hood, repainted and polished both (you would never know there was a dent) then installed the re chromed dash knobs and lengthened the seat belts.

I made my own fuse & terminal panel from a 12 circuit fuse block from E-Bay and left over terminal strips.       T
