The header fit looks great! But the corner left by the curved notch is a bit distracting.

Putting the pipe in helps that a little. When I get to that part I can always change it if it looks real bad.

Thanks. The company that did the coating didn't have a wide range of colors and I thought the silver would look the best.

Beautiful work all the way around!

Who did the coating, Jet hot? Not to be nosy, but what do they charge to coat headers?

I got the headers from a local guy who works out of his house. Not sure who he used for coating. Total cost for headers and coating was $475.00 with the coating being around $200.00 of it.
They are Sanderson headers but not the coating they use from their site.

Finally got the cowl vent welded in.
Also had a visit from the Fedex guy.
20 gallon foam filled aluminum tank with a sending unit and 2" sump.
Taking the truck Tuesday to get it weighed for the DMV and then I will be able to blow it all apart to finish the frame.

Incredible metal work Kim, so Kustom Smooth...great fuel tank, it looks just like the one I got, works great but I had to notch the stock cross members on my '65 a ton. Probably not an issue for you from the looks of that fire wall. Great progress. Mike

Should have looked back, ya it looks like an easy fit.:canada: not much stock on this build.

kim that looks real good, something about a smooth firewall that says ''custom''
all that frame work is hidden from the casual observer, they will see this :D
go ahead and weld up the clip holes for the hood seal rubber
the clips they send with the rubber are cheap and just break anyway
use a good weather strip adhesive to glue it down.

Nice progress! Did you get it running? If so how did the wire harness for the engine work out.

Thanks Ogre.
That's a good tip on the clip holes. I think I will do that.

I saw your A/C brackets in an earlier post. What brand did you buy and do you have a picture of them installed? I'm looking for a solution for a 5.3 L engine.

Thanks. Your project is looking great!

I used these guys for the bracket. I don't have it installed yet but it seems to be a nice part.

Keep up the great work
