Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
Ok got the fuel system all completed with tank, pump and filters, hard lines to the front and the flex lines at each end. I mounted the pump on iso mounts on a plate in the rear. I wanted it in a semi-clean spot where it wsnt going to get a bunch of road dirt or burned rubber all over it. And have it easily accessible for filter cleaning. so this is where I put it. The rest of the frame is going to be the color of this mounting plat the pump is on.

Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
Just looking at your beautiful headers - very nice. Are they custom for the truck or were they spec'ed for something else? Maybe '57 Chevy BB?
Keep up the good work.

Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
congrats on the grandbeeperfish! I have 3 daughters too, my brother in law said famously that "boys take risks, if you can keep them alive till about 12 then there is a good chance they will be fine after that. girls are easier in the beginning, but at 12 your problems have just started" haha

Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
Thanks Guys so much! -- Yes feel very Blessed / Son has grandson #1 - 3yrs old now, Oldest Daughter has 2 grandkids; 2yr old grandaughter, and now our brand new grandson #2.
Daughters 2 and 3 are still working on finding somebody Dad doesnt chase away with a salt gun!..... no hurry! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ok so I got the radiator all mocked up into place with the stock support.... albeit HIGHLY CUSTOMIZED to fit the cross flow radiator from a Chevelle. It is the biggest one that will fit between the bottom dimension. Its a Champion radiator, has trans cooling and inlet and outlet of 1.5" dia. I made a saddle bottom mount using some Uni-Strut and some 1/2" angle iron to 'saddle' around the bottom flange of the radiator. That mount goes across the whole bottom and holds the radiator just above the main support mounting bolt heads after its bolted in. I also made the top holding pieces out of 16 GA sheet metal and just bent it around the top flange of the radiator. They are sheetmetal screwed into the main support with flat top heads. Then I made my own radiator top cover to completely cover the whole top, across the latch mount piece and the radiator altogether. All these parts will be painted same color as frame. The radiator will stay polished alum. The P/S pump is in and the reserviour is on the next to the radiator, and I got all the trans lines made up too.... busy weekend!!! pics

Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
Heres some other stuff Ive been working on too... electrical panel for fuse box, CDI, Harness mount. this goes under the dash left of column. Also got the P/S pump installed.... fits perfect!
Got the dash and the bottom skirt all welded in tight with the wraps on the ends fitted in. The new trans tunnel is done. Just need to tackle that firewall again. Next is blow it all apart for the last time and sand and prep the frame for paint.... FINAL ASSEMBLY is in SIGHT!!!!

Congratulations on the Grandson! We are up to four now (2 boys, 2 girls) and they are the delight of our lives.
Nice work on the radiator and transmission tunnel. Good deal on the ps pump too. |

Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
Thanks guys for checking in....
Thanks Kim - you are the master of metal works... Mine looks ok from 20 feet! lol still more finishing to do on the metal work. 2 Slow - My Cam builder actually got me involved with them, really nice stuff, and made in 'Merica!!! It came as an entire kit with the CDI, Coil, Harness, mounts, tuning guide with USB port, and a book of instructions! I have never had any problems with MSD on my boat but for the money I got alot more with Daytona. Im using a MSD Pro Billet Disty with it. AD - Thank you, and yes we love them like crazy... I want them to grow up fast so we can do more.... but then again I like them as babies too, there just so darn cute!!!!
