=================================================

You know if I can I would make the trip......1st Round is on me...lol

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Then I got this really expensive idea.....and said to myself lets go with that....So stainless it is. I didn't make it but the guy that did knocked it out of the park....

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Rad test fit.....I just wanted to see how it was going to look...the rubber hoses aren't right I just used those for a test fit.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

That piece turned out beautifully!

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Thanks...

The guy did a great job he nailed it with excatly what I wanted...I tend to run those tubes on the top for my builds I love the look of them. My 58 was the first on that I ran a top and a bottom in stainless and I think I will for this one as well. Once i have done the break in and turned some miles I plan on running the shrink tube rad hose for a cleaner no clamp look. I just want to make sure everything is good first.

I have used these radiators a bunch of times and dig them.....I like the shroud and electric fans espically when your going to be jamming a AC setup upfront of everything....You need to keep the temps down or you run into AC temp issues....Thats just my 2 cents for what it's worth...which would be about 2 cents...lol

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Don't know how I missed this til now...:dohh:

…but, I'm in for the ride...:metal:

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

The Valve Covers are too SWEET!:metal:

What radiator are you using?
...and that Stainless pipe is Top-Notch!;)

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Thanks and welcome on board.....
I hope to knock the rest of this off as quickly as I can so If things go well every spare moment will be on that truck...

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

The stainless tube is super sweet!

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Yea I dig it.....I like it so much i need a bottom one now

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Build is looking great!
I just had the upper rad pipe repopped, but not in stainless. That looks killer!

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

thanks.....

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

I saw your tube and now I got questions.That doesn't sound right. hmmmmm Hand raised high like in grade school,
1. On the stainless tube, what is the thickness? And what is the diameter?
also, on the ends, is that a larger slice of tubing slipped over or what is it? I get what it is, like the bump for the hose to slip over just don't know how you made it.
Toss a totally rad stainless tube out there with no measurement gottz me buggin'

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

lol...only you bomp dude only you....
I didn't make it but had it made and I matched the thickness to the top upper pipe...off the top of my head I think it was 1 1/2 tubing and elbows. I will have to measure it later....and yea we decided to cut a tiny ring of pipe and tig it back onto the pipe and grind it to shape....it's a piece of fricken art dude the guy nailed it out of the park as far as i am concerned.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

We have been busting it lately and have made some progress.....

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

So in keeping with the green theme I had to hack things up and make them green....The pictures don't do it justice it's way cooler in person....And yes we had to cheat to test it all out...but there is a ton of wire in that thing.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

How about cost, and will he make more? Looks killer!!!

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Ya I made a jig....so I can have them repoped and plan on making a bunch of'em...But right now I have to find a differnt guy to tig'em and I haven't made the bottom one just yet. Once I make them both and am happy with them both and have the jigs I am all over it.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Diggin the cluster lights.
I can tig.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Let me know when you go into production....I'd like an upper one made.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Upper for me also!!!:mm:

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

So your going to be in Del Mar? I'm headed down there as well so we will finally get to meet! Truck is looking really good bro.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Dude, push that thing out into the Blazin sun already.
My phone desk top page is screaming to get a full shot.
So far all it has is the motor (which is totally killer by the way)lol
