Did you mount the exhaust tips to the running board? If I missed that somewhere, my apologies! Greg |

Got some updates on the 49... Finished up the wiring, installed a custom auto sound stereo, did a bunch of little stuff to get it roadworthy, and drove it to it's first car show 2 weeks ago.

I also added all green led dash lights and finished the end caps on the dash. Next week it goes to Ron's Auto Trim for door panels, carpet, and kick panels. Door panels are being finished in '55 Bel Air chrome, pattern, and arm rests.

Re: 49 ls1
Thanks Jim. I also added remote start, the power windows and door poppers are also functions l now. Having a hard time uploading the remote start vid. I'll try it from my pc tomorrow.

Re: 49 ls1
Chris, I just love this truck.
|
Re: 49 ls1
Agree with all of the above. Outstanding work! Absolutely love the dash!!

Re: 49 ls1
Congrats on getting it on the road and to a show. I love the custom work, it's one great looking truck.

Re: 49 ls1
Thanks guys. I'm pretty excited about finishing this one up. It's been a long time under the knife.

Re: 49 ls1
Here's the link to my remote start video. Pretty cool having a '49 with remote start! Really surprised some people at the car show!

Re: 49 ls1
Well that's cool! What product did you use?
|
Re: 49 ls1
Cheapie off of ebay. I think it was $50. Has an alarm with prox. Sensor, and I programmed it to kill power to the door poppers when the alarm is armed. It also pops the doors via remote.

Re: 49 ls1
Very nice Chris, looks great...Jim

Re: 49 ls1
Hey, I saw that on FB! Really nice! Now I want one.....
|
Re: 49 ls1
Looks great, I like it !!
|
Re: 49 ls1
Thanks guys. That was the prototype. I'm going to try to make a unique cover for each LS swap I do, no two exactly the same.
|
Re: 49 ls1
What are the plans for the coil covers, or are you going to cover them?
|
Re: 49 ls1
I was going to cover them, but now I think it would be too much. I kind of like seeing the coil packs.

YES, we are just about the same distance with a MAF but it is still in the garage!
starts and idels |
Re: 49 ls1
Mine runs great with the MAF right in front. If your MAF is not screened, having it within 6" of a bend can cause un-reliable readings due to the turbulence created by the bend.
|
Re: 49 ls1
So you are saying that a stock screened MAF will work fine in this location?
|
Re: 49 ls1
Yes. It's the turbulance from corners too close to the sensor that mess with it.
|
Re: 49 ls1
Truck is awesome, along the lines of the look I'm gonna be going for.

Re: 49 ls1
Thank you... it's been s blast to build!

Re: 49 ls1
Thanks guys. Bed wood is next, then carpet and headliner. Trying to get it buttoned up for Midwest All Truck Nats. Then in October she'll go up for sale. Making room for the next shop project truck!
