Hi guys and gals. I'm Bonbobob and I'm building a '57 with a Fatman Shockwave airbag frontend and a No Limit Shockwave airbag rear 4 link. I completely boxed the frame and made all new crossmembers. The rear end is a 9" narrowed Ford with 3:50 Traction-Loc gears and Currie axles. I have Wilwood 12" drilled and slotted rotors all around. I stepped the frame up and over the axle 3 1/2". I have front and rear sway bars. The engine with be a 454 with a TH 400 tranny. I made my own front engine mounts and used Jim Meyers Racing tranny mount. I removed the complete firewall and added a Direct Sheetmetal 4" recessed unit with matching toe boards and floor. The cowl had some rust which I fixed. The majority of the cab rust was fixed before I got it but I had the whole thing sandblasted and primed just to be sure that's when the cowl rust appeared. I bought Sanderson full length headers that are really for installing a big block in a 32 Ford but they are perfect for my set up. They are above the pan and tuck in nice and tight. I'm mounting my master cylinder and booster through the firewall but using an off-set shaft to get the hanging pedal where I want it. That way the master will be way over to the drivers side out of the way. That's all for today but I will try to add some attachments.
