Looking Good!
I ran across this several weeks ago and forgot to post it on here when you started to mock it up.

Kim:

That looks great. How did you bend the radius on the straight piece? What gauge did you use?

Is that piece overlapped on the firewall? If so, will you just fill it?

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

Looking good!

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

I've seen that one also but after replacing the whole firewall once I didn't want to do it again. I also like the more rounded look.

I had the radius done at a steel supplier. The rest of the bends I did in the garage with a shrinker/stretcher.
I used 16 gauge.
The piece is cut to fit flush with no overlap.


Thanks.

Kim

Once again, great job on the firewall.

Why spend so much when you can get the german Castro Synth 0-30 for half the price at AutoZone, lots of talk about that on the LSx boards. Make sure it's the bottle that says bottled or made in Germany.

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

Thanks.

Right now I'm looking at some Sanderson with 1-3/4 inch primaries.
I can get them in the $400 range.
Not sure if I want to pay the extra cost of the long tubes at this time.


I didn't now they had made specifically in Germany. I plan on running a syn oil so I'll have to check it out.

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

looks great, how far back is the piece you built?

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

Thanks.
It's set back 3"s. It gives me about an inch of clearance behind the intake.

Re: My 57 Pro Street

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

Looking good! I like seeing others progress. It helps me get going. You have mad fabrication skils. :metal:

Re: My 57 Pro Street

I'm like you I get inspiration from seeing what others on the board do.

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

Thanks Ogre.
I've seen the wheel barrow done also and thought about it for a while before doing what I did.

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

excellent work kim - you really have it workin out nicely !

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

Kim,
I gotta say this is one of the slickest builds on the forum. You are a metal magician. I've gotten a lot of ideas from your build

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

Thanks.
I get a lot of inspiration and ideas from the guys on the board also.

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

A little up date.
I needed to make my trans hump so here's what I did.
I made a frame out of some round stock and then made some templates out of heavy card stock.
Kim

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

A little welding, bending and grinding and I have something that will be hidden by a center console and carpet.
I'm waiting on some headers to see if they're going to fit before I get the cab back off to finish up the firewall.
