So Saturday was a busy day, it started at Ryno Built Rod & Custom with a shoot of a Metro Van that he has been working on. The photo above is of the gauge cluster in the Metro. The cluster is from Haneline Rod & Custom Products in Fort Scott, KS. So after shooting the van Ryno and I headed north on the way to Pleasant Hill, MO to attend the Gears and Gals Open House and we made some stops along the way. One of those stops was to the home of Haneline.
2017 Royboy Calendars are on sale and shipping now!
Haneline History
“In 1952 Ernie Haneline founded his business, Haneline Products in which he created and sold engine-turned automotive trim pieces. In the company’s early days it focused mostly on sports cars but would also custom built panels for local hot rodders. In the 1980’s Mr. Haneline sold the business to one of those hot rodders, Jimmy Bible, who refocused Haneline Products into the rod and custom genre making flat custom on-dash panels as well as developing a two piece dash inlay using an aluminum backer. Mr. Bible also sold his own line of Haneline Gauges and many other lines of street rod products. After selling the company, getting the company back, and reselling it to another group who eventually closed up and sold everything off years ago, Jimmy Bible’s nephew now carries on the Haneline legacy.” – from the Haneline website
Here are some photos of some of the clusters on display at the shop.

The engine turned panels produced by Haneline today are done by hand in exactly the same way as they were done in the 50’s. And they are damn cool.
Owner Scott Smith told us confidentially about some new product offerings on the way. I could tell you about them but then I’d have to… well you know. Just make sure to follow Haneline on Instagram and hit their official website here for more info.
See you at a show,
