The seat looks like it fits like a glove. What is it from?

Fred looks great. Nice to see another one back on the road let alone taking the time to post your progress and ideas.. I have been a long time lurker in the build section here, been gathering up all the good ideas from everyone so thanks for taking the time to post your progress.

Also what did you use for the steering shaft and your gas pedal.

The s10 donor truck. The shaft is half s10 and half c10 welded together.

I decided to go another route with '52 valve cover. It was just gonna look unperporsioned using the whole thing so I cut basically the top out of it and then trimmed around my map sensor and then attached it using the fuel rail bolts. I think it added a nice pop of color to the engine. Maybe down the road I might add some corvette valve cover shrouds.

Then I got my '55 bel air hood ornament put on last night and me likey. It was a little uncentered as you can see in the last picture but, I fixed that with my rubber mallet.

Looks great!

Remind me again, are you static dropped or on bags?

No bags here, although I did put some air shocks on the rear just to help the ride. Up front 1" coils/2" spindles and back has 2"blocks and second leaf removed.

Yep, Joe that's the right size. The 4" side does seem to big... I too thought that will never work but, I just kept cranking the hose clamp and it tighted up. I think it's the fact of a round boot fitting to the oval TP. The MAF side should fit nicely into the 3" side.
