Re: '49 chevy with s-10
nice work so far. looking good. not a color I would pick but it looks good on there.very clean looking.
dunno if you have done this or not and it depends on the engine mount style you have, BUT, if your engine mounts happen to come apart during a full throttle application you could be in trouble due to the steering column shaft going through your headers. could make a slight damp spot in the rear of your pants along with a foul odor in the cab if you lose steering at that point. seen motor mounts fail before, just saying. back in the day we used a length of chain from the motor to the frame, with a bit of slack built into the engineering, so if the motor tore the mounts it stayed relatively in the same spot. that may be tacky now though, lol. |

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
Great to see this build pop back up....This has always been one of my favorites. Did you powder coat or paint the wheels? They look great.

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
Thanks man... the wheels are powder coated. I have all the other bolt on parts out to the powder coater also. So it will eventually be all black and green.

Re: '49 chevy with s-10
Wow, great attention to detail. I really like how you have the tinted bed liner on the underside of your cab.
