Re: The Snortin' bull
It's funny, I'd never see a hubcap like yours till I saw this thread. Then 4 of these showed up for sale locally, still in the factory boxes, never installed. 1955 though, you said yours were 1960?

Piece by piece.Fab up exhaust front to back. This is alway's time consuming.There are very talented exhaust builder's out there though on my home garage floor I am not one of them.Especially on a bagged truck.

Just layin' some more pipe. I know these picture's are kinda boring though I have found that in the forum's we pick up subtle little helpful thing's in the picture's. Just need to trim and fit and finish off the tailpipe's. Install header flange to pipe gasket's maybe tip's and exhaust is done.

Re: The Snortin' bull
Looking good, nice progress.

Fully aired down. The truck was planned out to be able to cruise at full aired out. I did not build it to lay frame but to almost appear to and still slow cruise in show atmosphere. The pinch welds are just over an inch off the ground under the cab rocker's.

I am on the fence to put on a rear bumper or not. Even though the exhaust tip's are hardly showing I still tipped off with a chrome pencil tip. Yosemite Sam street sweeper's I call them.

Re: The Snortin' bull
Wow, looking really good.
My vote is for a bumper, always. |
Re: The Snortin' bull
Looks great. I enjoyed reading your build. I like your style, dig those hubcaps!
