I'm sure not everybody is a fan of this look but I like the way the pipes turned out.

That may not be what I would necessarily do...but I like it. It shows some ingenuity and personal preference....always a good thing.
Its good to be different...nice job!

All Good

Installed new shocks on my Dad's 71 big block.
Took my 72 out from winter hibernation and washed it.

I'm running a big block, the passenger side was a breeze, the drivers, well....I thought about cutouts and tail pipes, but the cab floor is hot enough as it is.

Pure Toy - future trips to the dragstrip. Doesn't get out in the dirt much anymore. After suspension, rear end, brakes work is done, going to add a supercharger.

Today on the way home from work, I recessed the grille and lowered the passenger headlight a little with the help of some friends I made in a Hyundai. Also I vented my aluminum radiator, trans cooler and engine oil cooler with the water pump pulley.

On the way home from work, I heard a hissing sound, and soon the power steering wasn't. Popped the hood to find the expected spray of fluid in the front left corner. I man-handled him home, and now I have to refill the pump to see where the leak is. I *think* its a hose and *hope-and-pray* it's not the box.

Well, I pulled the steel part of the low-pressure line off to find the hole in it caused by rubbing against the inner fender. Next step: find a replacement for the steel part of the hose or have one made.

Sweet mod........That's a bummer. How's the frame?

I only built shelves above the garage door, for the cowl and an NOS inner grille I couldn't pass up.
