My GT-II is still in progress as fast as an old gimp can move. I have the new dash cover installed, instruments are in. I need to connect up the AC pressure lines under the dash. Then Im ready to level the body and place it on the chassis. The body is held up via two 2” web straps easy to rotate by one and easy to work on. New dash cover installed Computer monitor and radio installed Butt sag braces installed ready for the body Wyn

Wyn, that dash looks GREAT! How even I would keep the body on the frame or will supported on the frame mounts. You could tweak the body hanging like that or sitting on the floor. Fiberglass may feel strong, but flexes easily & will keep the new shape. Keep up the good work. Skip20

I've got my drivetrain and chassis ready to go. The wiring is done and the new dash is fitted but not yet bolted into place. The tilt column is installed as is the remote start and keyless ignition. I'm using LED lights everywhere. You can't see it here but the rear third brake light is a wide bar inside a bubble just above the engine cover. The bubble made it necessary to change the hinges so that the engine cover slides out then flips over out of the way. I'm going with a latch rather than hood pins. Body work next...

You installed electronic gauges in the dashboard? I wish I have an enclosed garage to work in my GT II and lift the body with "brian's" support concept. The vehicle is coming along very nicely.

Kudos and thanks to Brian for the lift arrangement. If I had a clue how I'd send you a bucket of karma to go with that. Yea the gauges are Dakota Digital. The ignition system is keyless too...sort of. It is enabled by USB dongles. I programmed 2 different ones. One allows full operation including engine start, the other only accessories. The USB ports are under the touchscreen. I also installed remote start and door poppers.

Mmmmh.... computers, touch screen, car automation.... you are my kind of pal. So, talk to me and the others to, what type of interface are you using to enable all this activities, I like toys and mostly electrical and better if they are car related. For a while I was using Media Engine softw. in my 10.5" touch panel mounted in the Prius for all car PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) diagnostics and operations and also, part of the entertainment system including GPS on the gigantic LCD display. Did I mention that I'm in the works of converting my GT II (or another) with electric propulsion.....?

Attn: smyrnaguy Your car looks great & I like some of your idea on the dash. You should start your own post with more details & pictures. Keep up the great work, look WOW.

Hey lilhack69, It looks like someone has already done some extensive body work on your Bradley. The headlights have been relocated and the real window area has been configured with Farrari wings. It's hard to tell the quality of the work from the pictures, but potentially you've got the makings of a great Bradley.

It's hard to tell the quality of the work from the pictures, but potentially you've got the makings of a great Bradley. it's rough and all of mods need to be redone the correct way. but i don't mind i waited 10 years to get one after i saw one in a barn when i was in college. and of course it was for sale but me in college with no money. but it was probably for the better since this one only cost $150.00 with a solid pan and rollcage

I had this on the old board, but I am slow about getting things done anymore and it took awhile for me to get over here and bring it up to date, if the picture loads then I will have been successful. MikeB Attachments:

I'm a new member, My name is Don and I live in Santee, SC. I just bought a brand new Bradley GT II. This kit has sat in a garage and in boxes for 30+ years. It came with a rolling chasis, but no engine. I paid $1800.00 for it. I look forward to putting it together. I have started a website to document the build. www.carnutguys.com

Wyn, I really like the dash. Did you use the original as a basis, or is this another thing you made from scratch?

I think it's a sign that you slipped and broke your hand-nuthin else-lucky you didn't slip and break you a_ _!
Good luck and stick with it the doors look like they're fitting pretty good, and that's a start!!
Have you driven it yet or is it your shift hand?
If you're used to a bike you're gonna love that car, it's like a 4 wheeled motorcycle!
All the best and hope you heal super quick!
